Dangote fuel distribution: IPMAN issues fresh directive to members

The Independent Petroleum Marketers Association of Nigeria, IPMAN, has told members to register with Dangote Refinery ahead of its commencement of the fuel distribution nationwide scheme on Monday, September 15, 2025.

This was disclosed in a statement at the weekend by IPMAN president and secretary, Abubakar Maigandi and James Tor, respectively.

This comes as Dangote Refinery on Thursday announced that it would kick off fuel distribution nationwide with reduced retail prices.

Reacting, IPMAN has instructed its members who have not yet registered with the Dangote Refinery to do so immediately, in preparation for the start of direct fuel supply on Monday.

“The National Executive Committee of the Independent Petroleum Marketers Association of Nigeria (IPMAN), under the leadership of Alhaji Abubakar Maigandi Shettima as the National President and Hon. James Terlumun Tor as the National Secretary, is pleased to inform our members who have renewed IPMAN membership registration in line with the IPMAN 2009 Constitution as amended that payment, loading, and supply of petroleum products at the Dangote Refinery have commenced.

“IPMAN members who have already registered with Dangote Refinery and Petrochemicals Co. Ltd, as was announced, are all directed to resume immediate payment to Dangote Refinery and Petrochemicals Co. Ltd.

“Be informed that on Monday, 15th September 2025, the company will commence product loading and supply directly to buyers’ locations within the country.

“Interested members who are yet to register with Dangote Refinery and Petrochemicals Co. Limited are urged to go ahead with their registrations.”

Meanwhile, major stakeholders, including the Nigeria Union of Petroleum and Natural Gas Workers, the Depot and Petroleum Products Marketers Association of Nigeria, and the Petroleum Products Retail Outlets Owners Association of Nigeria have kicked against the scheme, describing it as a Greek gift to Nigerians.
