The Independent Petroleum Marketers Association of Nigeria is preparing for discussions with Dangote Petroleum Refinery on Tuesday and Wednesday.
The focus of these talks will be to finalise the agreements regarding the pricing and distribution of petrol from the refinery.
Chinedu Ukadike, the National Publicity Secretary of IPMAN, expressed that the association is looking forward to engaging in discussions with officials from the Dangote refinery, as it is eager to establish a positive business partnership with the refinery.
“We hope to sit down with Dangote maybe Tuesday or Wednesday and if they give us a template or price, we will move to Dangote. I want to reassure you that we have all it takes to off-take whatever Dangote will give to us. I don’t know why they are dragging their legs to discuss with marketers, maybe it is politics.
“The more we take action in terms of distribution lines, the price will come down, we are not afraid of this competition, we have organised ourselves and are ready to compete because this is the survival of the fittest.
“The issue of not having tank farms is gone because we have addressed the issue and now have farm tanks and anywhere Dangote says they will give us our products, we will distribute them to our marketers,” he said.
