The Independent Petroleum Marketers Association of Nigeria (IPMAN) has called on the Federal Government to make petroleum products available to the masses.
The group said Nigerian masses are in agony over the scarcity of petroleum products, leading to the inability of their members to get products to dispense to consumers.
The Chairman of Enugu Depot of the group, Mr Chinedu Anyaso, stated this in an interview with journalists, on the high cost of fuel in the South East.
A litre of fuel sells for as high as N350 in some petrol stations in Anambra State, while some dispense at N300.
This is a far cry from the federal government approved pump price of the product, which is N185 per litre.
Anyaso said: “The NNPC has not been supplying fuel to independent marketers for a very long time. We source for the product from private tank farm owners who sell at very exorbitant prices.
