The Independent Petroleum Marketers Association (IPMAN), Enugu Depot Community, has threatened to shut down over Anambra State Government’s “intentional renege” on its failed promise to one of its members.
It said the government had promised to off-set a debt worth N13,570,175, being the value of products of one of its members, Siluch Oil & Gas Ltd, supplied to the state.
Issuing the state government a 14 working days’ notice to fulfil its part of the agreement, the association assured that it would stop its operations within the state.
The ultimatum was contained in a two-page pre-action notice to Governor Willie Obiano, signed by Messrs. Chinedu Anyaso and Oliver Ekwueme, chairman and secretary of IPMAN Enugu Depot.
Anyaso said copies had been sent to the Police, Director of State Services, Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC), and other security agencies.
He added that the notice took effect from March 24 and would lapse on April 8.
The Special Adviser to Obiano on NUPENG Petroleum and Union Matters, Chief Peter Nwosu, confirmed receipt of the letter.
He said the government was working to avert the shutdown.
