IPMAN President, Abubakar Garima, made this known on Wednesday on Channels Television’s Sunrise Daily programme.
Garima expressed surprise that the owner of the $20bn refinery Aliko Dangote said marketers were boycotting his refinery to buy imported petrol, stressing that that his members were not importing petrol.
According to him, rather than get Dangote petrol through the NNPCL, the private refinery should register independent petroleum marketers directly for smooth loading of the product.
“If he (Dangote) can be able to sell the product to us directly, we can buy the product, because we have to pay before we pick. Presently, we have ₦40bn under the NNPCL custody but we cannot source the product.
