Minna depot dissociates self IPMAN factional warning strike

Chairman, Minna Depot chapter of Independent Petroleum Marketers Association of Nigeria (IPMAN), Alhaji Adamu Erena, has disassociated the organisation from the ongoing Northern Petroleum Marketers three-day warning strike over unpaid bridging claims.

Erena in an interview with journalists in Minna, the state capital described the industrial action as “factional marketers strike” that cannot get the desired results, adding that members must unite to achieve the goals of the association.

He explained that the Nigeria National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) is indebted to the markers through Petroleum Equalization Fund (PEF) to the tune of the sum of over N600billion, stressing that the strike was not well planned to get the desired outcome.
