The Independent Petroleum Marketers Association of Nigeria (IPMAN), has instructed all its members nationwide to reduce petrol price from N145 to N140.
In a statement signed by the National President, Elder Chinedu Okworonkwo, the reduction was effected as a result of Saturday’s last-minute postponement of presidential and National Assembly elections by INEC, Daily Post reports.
According to him, Nigerians travelled to different places across the country to cast their votes, but to their dismay, the election was shifted to Feb. 23
