Independent Petroleum Marketers Association of Nigeria (IPMAN) has directed its members to immediately reopen all its outlets.
Gatekeepers News reports that reports that the Borno State Chapter of the association had earlier ordered its members to suspend payments for petroleum products and other operations until further notice.
The association said the decision followed the loss being recorded by its members who are being compelled by the government and its agencies to sell petroleum products at certain prices.
“You are all hereby directed to suspend selling at all filling stations and also suspend payment of ordering products from source until further notice,” the statement signed by its chairman, Mohammed Kuluwu, reads.
IPMAN has however made a u-turn in another statement seen by Gatekeepers News on Tuesday, directing its members in the State to resume operations.
“Having met with the concerned authority, all filling stations should open with immediate effect and continue selling while the association continues with further consultation and accordingly keeps you informed,” the statement said.
