Nigerians are advised by the Independent Petroleum Marketers Association of Nigeria (IPMAN) to refrain from panic buying because the nation has an adequate supply of fuel.
This was said on Sunday in Abuja by IPMAN Publicity Secretary Ukadike Chinedu.
He praised the Dangote Petroleum Refinery for bringing down the price of its gasoline, or Premium Motor Spirit (PMS), to N899.50k per litre.
Ahead of the Yuletide holidays, he claimed that the gesture will assist Nigerians in lowering their transportation expenses.
In order to draw in more clients, he advised all IPMAN members to modify their pumps to the new pump price.
In November, the Dangote Refinery reduced the price of gasoline to N970 a litre, according to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN).
TimesNow.com.ng reported that an investigation revealed that PMS continued to sell for more than N1000 per litre at filling stations even after the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL) and Dangote Refinery lowered the price.
To provide Nigerians much-needed respite, Dangote Refinery earlier lowered the price of PMS to N899.50k per litre in what it called a Holiday Bonanza.
To further benefit customers, Dangote Group unveiled a special deal in a statement released by Anthony Chiejina, the Group Chief Branding and Communications Officer.
