The Independent Petroleum Marketers Association of Nigeria (IPMAN) has cried out, alleging that funds of its members are trapped in the recently-scrapped agencies in the Ministry of Petroleum Resources.
IPMAN made this known in a statement signed by its National President, Mr Chinedu Okoronkwo, on Thursday in Lagos.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the scrapped agencies are: the Department of Petroleum Resources (DPR), Petroleum Equalization Fund Management Board (PEFMB), and Petroleum Product Pricing Regulatory Agency (PPPRA).
They were scrapped following the signing of the Petroleum Industry Act which created the Nigerian Upstream Regulatory Commission and the Nigerian Midstream and Downstream Petroleum Regulatory Authority.
The association said it portends danger if its members’ funds, running into tens of billions of dollars, remain trapped in the agencies as this may affect members in the discharge of their obligation to the general public.

It stressed the need for urgent reconciliation of the huge sums of money to avert a major crisis in the sector.
“In view of our past experience by virtue of the enormous amount of money being owed by the federal government vis-a-vis DPR, PEFMB and PPPRA, IPMAN has engaged the services of Mauritz Walton Nig. Ltd.
“The firm is to reconcile and recover the product differentials lasting several years between IPMAN and the Federal Government,” the statement said.
The association promised to make a more detailed statement to its members and to the general public in due course.
