The Independent Petroleum Marketers Association of Nigeria, IPMAN has threatened to delist any member that violate the Sokoto State Government Executive Order on petrol sale.
IPMAN Chairman in the state Abubakar Usman, who issued the warning at the association’s meeting in Sokoto, cautioned that any erring member would lose his membership.
He explained that the meeting is to intimate IPMAN members across the 23 local government areas of the state on the impact of the security measures taken by the state government to safeguard residents.
Usman, while commenting on the filling station sealed after arresting two persons with about 100 jerrycans filled with petrol by security personnel in the late hours of Friday, appealed to the government to consider it as an act of ignorance.
It would be recalled that Governor Aminu Tambuwal had on September 1, signed 10 executive orders, as part of measures to combat both kinetic and non-kinetic security challenges in the state.
The State Commissioner for Commerce Bashir Gidado commended the Association for their cooperation with government policies and programmes.
