Easter: IPMAN Tasks PPMC On Fuel Supply To Rivers 

The Independent Petroleum Marketers Association of Nigeria, (IPMAN), has urged the Pipelines and Product Marketing Company (PPMC) to ensure steady supply of PMS to Rivers State during and after the Easter holidays.
PPMC, a subsidiary of NNPC, is responsible for transporting crude oil to the refineries, as well as moving refined petroleum products to the domestic and export markets.
Executive Chairman of IPMAN in Rivers State, Dr. Joseph Obele, who met the management of PPMC over fuel supply, advised Rivers residents against panic buying and storing of products in the house to avoid fire explosions.
Obele also assured residents of the state of steady supply of petroleum products, while refuting the rumoured fuel price increase and scarcity during Easter, describing it as fake.
He added that marketers had been directed to sell a little bit more than the usual selling hours, following the donation of patrol vans to the police by the Rivers State Government.
IPMAN commended the Rivers Governor, Chief Nyesom Wike for the donation, saying the patrol vans will reinforce security in the state.
“It will enhance economic activities and encourage petrol stations to extend the hours of service”, he said.
