The Independent Petroleum Marketers Association of Nigerian, has said that the only way to make Nigeria great is by removing fuel subsidy.
The IPMAN National Public Relations Officer, Yakubu Suleiman disclosed this on a television programme on Wednesday.
Suleiman stated that IPMAN supports President Bola Tinubu’s pronouncement on the removal of fuel subsidy in the country.
He explained that the President was only informing Nigerians that there is no more subsidy, adding that the former President, Muhammadu Buhari, had removed it and didn’t make provision for it beyond June 2023 in this year’s budget.
“IPMAN’s position is that the Independent Petroleum Marketers Association of Nigeria (IPMAN) is supporting or has supported the deregulation of the industry.
“Removing subsidy is the only answer to make Nigeria great because there is no country that can survive without deregulating the economy.
“We really applaud Mr President for having the courage to announce the removal of subsidy,” he stated.
Suleiman however pointed out that even though it is important for stakeholders to be consulted, the way to go is subsidy removal.
He therefore urged Nigerians not to engage in panic buying as Premium Motor Spirit also known as petrol is sufficiently available in the country at the moment.
