The Independent Petroleum Marketers Association of Nigeria , has condemned what it described as the attempt by State governments to take over the role of the regulator of the downstream petroleum operations in Southeast. Mr Chinedu Anyaso, chairman of IPMAN, Enugu Depot, in charge of Anambra, Ebonyi and Enugu States, said this in an interview…
Anyaso said state governments did not have the standardised and approved equipment to measure the accuracy of dispensing machines and they lacked the powers to supervise downstream petroleum operations. According to him, state governments are not empowered to carry out regulatory functions over downstream operators; they lack the expertise and the seraphim bottles they are using are not certified to have been properly calibrated.
“This is sheer overzealousness on the part of some aides of governors. We call on our governors to call these people to order, to avoid putting IPMAN on a collision course with state governments,” he warned.
