There are fears of a fresh fuel scarcity hitting the country as members of Independent Petroleum Marketers Association of Nigeria (IPMAN) in nine Northern states have embarked on a three-day withdrawal of services at depots as warning strike over non-payment of their bridging claims amounting to N70 billion.
Spokesman for IPMAN in Borno State, Abdulkadir Mustapha made the announcement on Monday September 5.
He said non-payment of their claims is inflicting untold hardship to their teaming members, and failure to pay the money would result in indefinite strike, shutting down of all filling stations.
