The President of the Independent Petroleum Marketers Association of Nigeria disclosed this in an interview to journalist on Monday.

Although he didn’t give details on the reason for the meeting, he however noted that it is about petrol pump price and its availability to oil marketers.

“Wednesday I have a meeting with the Department of State Services.

“It is about the petrol pump price. Anywhere IPMAN is involved it is about the issue of petrol and its availability to members,” he said.
