Fuel: Stop Panic Buying, IPMAN Advises

The Independent Petroleum Marketers Association of Nigeria
(IPMAN) has advised Nigerians to stop panic buying and stocking of
Premium Motor Spirit, popularly known as petrol.

Alhaji Suleiman Yakubu, the National Public Relations Officer of
IPMAN, gave the advice in an interview with the News Agency of
Nigeria (NAN) on Sunday in Abuja.

Yakubu fielded questions on the long fuel queues recorded at
some filling stations in Abuja.

He decried the panic purchases and long queues witnessed in
various filling stations across the nation’s federal capital.

Yakubu however said that crude oil price has gone up and it has
affected the price of products.

He assured Nigerians that a normal supply of petroleum products
would soon be restored since loading has commenced at various
deports.

“We want to assure the buyers that government and marketers are
doing everything possible to ensure that the products are available
in every filling station within a few days starting from today,”
said the IPMAN spokesman.

But some motorists who expressed disappointment over the
development urged filling stations that have fuel to sell.
