THE Independent Petroleum Marketers Association of Nigeria (IPMAN), on Wednesday, said it had commenced sale of kerosene at N50 per litre at filling stations nationwide.

Alhaji Abdulkadri Aminu, national president of the association, gave the assurance during the inauguration of sale of kerosene at N50 per litre in Lagos.

Aminu said members had been mandated to ensure the sale of the product at the regulated price of N50 per litre as directed by the Federal Government.

According to him, the sale of kerosene at the approved government price had been one of the projects of IPMAN, in partnership with PPMC and NNPC.

“The association has been at the vanguard of ensuring that the product that is meant for the local people should be sold at the approved price.

“This has also been the focus of the Minister of Petroleum. Today, we are grateful to God that we have seen it happen.

“I want to assure every Nigerian that it’s going to be sustained,” Aminu said.

He said that the sale of kerosene at the approved price would be launched in other states of the country, adding that any member found selling above the regulated price would be sanctioned.

“From here, we are going to Kano, Sokoto, Enugu, Jos, Yola, Maiduguri and other places.

“This is the first time I am coming to visit our retail outlets and I can assure that the exercise is going to be continuous.

“The chairman of South West zone has been directed to go to other states within the southern states to launch the project,” he said.

Aminu said the monitoring team would be inaugurated to ensure compliance in all the IPMAN outlets nationwide.

He said issues of scarcity of kerosene had to be addressed, adding that the whole world had diversified from kerosene to gas.

Mr Olumide Ogunmade, Western Zone chairman of IPMAN, said that the association considered it necessary to ensure that independent marketers who had the products were selling at the regulated price.

Ogunmade said that the essence of selling kerosene at N50 per litre was to demonstrate to the government that IPMAN was a conformist association.

He said that IPMAN members were closer to the masses and understood the best model to adopt to make the product available to them at the appropriate price.

“We want members of the public to benefit from the official rate of N50, and if the government can sustain the supply, we are sure and confident that the product will get to the target market.”

According to him, Nigerians are suffering and all efforts should be made to reduce the cost of products in the oil and gas sector to make life more meaningful to the citizens.

PH refinery! 7 months! Ha! Peddler of false information!!!

Obiagelli: so long as our refineries ain't up this news is a hoax. Didn't bother to read the article. I wonder why Nigerians dont use gas, even 10ltr size cylinders are available

Are gas cylinders measured in litres or kilograms?
Cooking gas still remains the best. Fast for cooking and lasts longer.

Lets see if it will be effected... But I am sure this is Nigeria and some filing stations would not want to effect this....

So if this is happening in your area, make una just dey drop am here, while some of US will do the good will of reporting... and if luckily, PunchNG will spool it out.

Long Live Nigeria

Long Live Our Natural Resources... that wont be there forever

Long Live Buhari 2015

*covers head

I BELIEVE IT, I RECEIVE IT. I love good news, I accept it with open arms! Nigerians find it easier to believe bad news than good ones about their country. We must have a change of mindset if we truly want to experience the transformation we desire!

Wetin concern me! if dm lyk make reduce 2 30naria per lit non my biz wax.....i get plenty nkuu(firewood) 4 my barking yard.

This is the umpteenth time we are hearing this, they only sell for a few weeks at the designated NNPC stations, afterwards ot business as usual for marketers...
Shebi Madam Ngozi said subsidy doesn't cover DPK,IPMAN should stop giving the populace false hope

With this qoute you'll know why our leaders are afraid of the citizens

Our deepest fear is not that we are | inadequate.Our deepest fear is | that we are powerful beyond | nature.

seconded, I still wonder why peeps still waste their hard earned money on kerosene,its either ignorance or they see cooking gas as luxury

5columnist: Another good one from President Jonathan

You're wrong. This is from Nigerians. Does GEJ know you exist? We have to congratulate ourselves.

i can only believe this guys only if they make the product available nationwide as promised, with sustainability an easy access by the citizens of this country jst like the PMS.
statements and assurances without actions constitute the strenght of this administation..

oh my God dis is good news...Off TO INVENTING KEROSENE AUTOMOBILE... FUvk off petroleum

Ogbeche77: seconded, I still wonder why peeps still waste their hard earned money on kerosene,

both precisely. Some people think its expensive but its not. I have been using gas since 1987 and have not deemed it necessary to use kerosene. I can't stand the sight of charcoal and scrubbing the back of my pot to get off charcoal stains.

:Dthat is very good news but from now people should be very carefull whill buying fuel because some filling station will soon start mixing kerosen in fuel and sale to people in the name of fuel which will cost us alot of damage.

Why do I feel that diesel users should be weary of this news?

What is kerosine?!

Here in the sky we use lightening for cooking.
