Earlier in the month, the Independent Petroleum Marketers Association of Nigeria (IPMAN) called on Dangote Refinery to engage stakeholders and review its pricing strategy, saying the refinery prices are higher than other suppliers, making it difficult for independent marketers to sell products.
Last week, IPMAN reached an important arrangement with Dangote Refinery to directly lift petroleum products for distribution to its members' depots and retail outlets across the country.
