The national body of the Association of Nigeria Refineries Petroleum Marketers (ANRPM) has dissolved its principal officers from national to the local level with immediate effect.
This was contained in a statement made available to journalists on Thursday in Akure, the Ondo state capital.
According to Hon. Usman Bature,
the BoT Chairman of the association, Ali, Hon. Iwalewa Olatubosun has however been appointed as the National President to pilot the affairs of the association for two years.
The BoT Chairman also directed all the affected national and state officers of the association to hand over all the association’s properties to the office of the national president.
The statement reads further; “in view of the foregoing, the association has changed its logo and all office-related materials to a new one because of impersonation.
“Owing to the new development, the association therefore warned all petroleum marketers to desist from oil and gas thefts, bunkering, exploitation, hoarding, sharp business practices and artificial scarcity and adulteration of petroleum products.
“Finally, the association under the leadership of the BoT, Hon. Usman Bature Ali commended the efforts of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu in the petroleum sector, having removed the fuel subsidy and other developmental efforts in the sector.”
