The Independent Petroleum Marketers Association of Nigeria has said that it will boycott private depots that continue to sell products above the government-approved price.
This was contained in a statement by IPMAN chairman, Alhaji Bashir Dan Malam, and issued to newsmen in Kano on Friday.
They also warned marketers to desist from selling the products above the approved pump price as anyone found in the act would be sanctioned.
He expressed the need for both private depot owners and marketers to sell the product at a controlled price because they don’t pay extra money to the NNPCL before getting the allocation.
He, however, cautioned marketers to be careful with some individuals who are in the habit of using their registered filling stations to secure allocations from the Nigeria National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL) illegally.
The IPMAN chairman said the advice became necessary following persistent complaints from the NNPCL management that some individuals who have no business with petroleum products are in the habit of collecting fuel allocations from the company illegally by presenting names of some registered filling stations.
