The Independent Petroleum Marketers Association of Nigeria (IPMAN) has halted supply in Abuja and Suleja, Niger State, over N50 billion unpaid bridging claims by the Nigerian Midstream and Downstream Petroleum Regulatory Authority (NMDPRA).

Addressing the press in Abuja, the IPMAN unit Chairman, Alhaji Yahaya Hamman Alhassan, said: “This strike is a warning strike and if care is not taken, we are going to continue because our members, majority of them, have already left this business because of payment; the warning is between now up till next week, one week.”
