“With the current price, there is no way we can sell less than N180 per litre,” IPMAN
Marketers of petroleum products in Nigeria on Monday pushed for N180 per litre as queues for Premium Motor Spirit (PMS) also known as petrol worsened in Lagos and Ogun.
Platforms Africa, which earlier broke the story of queues for fuel at filling stations in parts of Lagos and Ogun, reports that the situation has been worsened with scarcity spreading to more stations.
Rising under the auspices of Independent Petroleum Marketers Association of Nigeria (IPMAN), the marketers lamented what they called their “predicament with the current price of PMS at private depot.”
