- One million Fine For Defaulters
- Fuel Marketers and NUPENG Declare Strike
- Indefinite Strike by Petroleum Unions
Motorists in Delta State may soon face a fresh fuel shortage as members of the Independent Petroleum Marketers Association of Nigeria (IPMAN) and the Nigeria Union of Petroleum and Natural Gas Workers (NUPENG) have announced an indefinite strike.
The unions will close all filling stations in the state starting at 6:00 a.m. on Monday, September 8, 2025, until their national leaders give new instructions, Eko Hot Blog reports.

The decision came after an emergency meeting on Saturday, September 6, 2025. In a circular sent to all marketers, the unions warned that any filling station that operates during the strike will be fined ₦1 million.
“IPMAN and NUPENG have agreed that as from Monday, 8th September 2025, all filling stations should remain closed,” the notice stated, adding that the action is a sign of solidarity, as “injury to one is injury to all.”
This strike will likely disrupt fuel supply in Delta State and could spread to other states in the South-South region, as petroleum marketers often support one another during these actions.
