The Independent Petroleum Marketers Association of Nigeria (IPMAN) has come out to say that it has not received any official communication on Fuel price hike.

The Chairman of the association in Kano State, Alhaji Bashir DanMalam recently revealed this while briefing newsmen in Kano over the report going round that the pump price was increased to over N212 per litre.

According to him, his members should keep selling the litre at the old price because the association was not carried along before the recent hike in price.

He added that anytime there is fuel increment, critical stakeholders would always inform the IPMAN leadership, so Nigerians should ignore the rumour.

His words, “The leadership of IPMAN has consulted critical stakeholders in the petroleum sector and informed them that there is no such decision of fuel increment for now.”

Muhammadu Buhari GCFR (born 17 December 1942) is a Nigerian politician currently serving as the President of Nigeria, in office since 2015. He is a retired major general in the Nigerian Army and previously served as the nation’s head of state from 31 December 1983 to 27 August 1985, after taking power in a military coup d’état. The term Buharism is ascribed to the Buhari military government.

He unsuccessfully ran for the office of president of Nigeria in the 2003, 2007, and 2011 general elections. In December 2014, he emerged as the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress for the March 2015 general elections. Buhari won the election, defeating the incumbent President Goodluck Jonathan. This marked the first time in the history of Nigeria that an incumbent president lost to an opposition candidate in a general election. He was sworn in on 29 May 2015. In February 2019, Buhari was re-elected President, defeating his closest rival Atiku Abubakar by over 3 million votes.
