The Dangote Refinery and the Independent Petroleum Marketers Association of Nigeria (IPMAN) have reached a deal to supply Premium Motor Spirit (PMS), also known as petrol, directly to IPMAN for nationwide distribution.
This agreement, following prolonged negotiations, was announced by IPMAN President Abubakar Garima during a press conference in Abuja after the Association’s National Working Committee meeting.
Garima stated that the partnership would ensure a steady and competitively priced supply of PMS across Nigeria.
“After meeting with Aliko Dangote and his management team in Lagos, we are pleased to announce that Dangote Refinery will supply IPMAN with PMS, AGO, and DPK directly for our depots and retail outlets,” he said.
He further emphasized that this collaboration aligns with President Bola Tinubu’s economic agenda by enhancing job creation and prioritizing Nigerian refineries for white products.
This development ends months of challenging discussions, during which some IPMAN members faced difficulties in lifting petrol from the refinery.
