Independent Petroleum Marketers Association of Nigeria (IPMAN) has narrated how President Muhammadu Buhari successfully stopped what it called Highwired scam and decadent corruption that bedeviled petroleum products distribution in the country for a long time.
“It is on record that before your emergence, petroleum products distribution was a big racket riddled with highwire scam and decadent corruption. The perennial fuel scarcity was the noticeable symptom of this malaise. But when you came on board that evil network of graft in the sector was dismantled and the nation is better for it as there is unhindered products availability year round.”
The leadership of the association, who visited the President today, Friday,at the presidential Villa, Abuja, noted that the new working environment is inspiring more investment by IPMAN members.
The national president of the association, Elder Chinedu Okoronkwo said that the new system had emboldened members of the association to establish a refinery in the near future.
“We shall soon furnish your office with detailed presentation of our plans and timelines for the actualisation of this project.
“We will not forget to thank your Chief of Staff, Mallam Abba Kyari for his immense support which has made it possible for the challenges confronting the oil sector to be always addressed and surmounted.
“Also we are grateful to the GMD of NNPC Mr. Maikanti Baru and the MD PPMC for their uncanny support and advice at all times With these quality of men around you and the great changes that have occurred in the downstream sector and many other areas of our national life, we have no doubt that your re-election bid will be an overwhelming victory because as it stands, it will be a success for all Nigerians.
“In closing, our dear President, let me request that you kindly approve that we pay you a congratulatory visit after the election and to formally submit our expansion and energy agenda master plan. Mr. President, let me assure you that we are ready to work more closely with you to summount other hurdles in the industry as we have great confidence in your inspirational leadership.”
