...As Mohammed Warns ‘Strike Action Will Bring More Hardship on Ordinary Nigerians’

The Independent Petroleum Marketers Association of Nigeria on Saturday asked its members to ignore the proposed industrial action as it also asked the labour leaders to jettison the planned strike, saying the deregulation of the oil sector was an inevitable decision with more merits for the majority of the people in future.

IPMAN’s spokesperson, Yakubu Suleiman, said in a statement in Abuja, “Members of the Independent Petroleum Marketers Association of Nigeria across the country have therefore been directed to ignore the directive by the NLC.

“The National Executive Council of IPMAN wants to inform the general public that IPMAN will not be part of the strike the NLC is calling, since our association is not part of the NLC.”

Also speaking at a meeting with online publishers in Lagos, the Minister of Information and Culture, Lai Mohammed, said that the government was appealing to the organised labour to shelve the strike because it would “only bring more hardship on ordinary Nigerians.”

He explained that the increase in the price of fuel would benefit Nigerians in the long run.
