The Independent Petroleum Marketers Association of Nigeria has explained that the eventual renewal of the naira-for-crude deal between the Nigerian government, the Dangote Refinery and other refiners could not crash the price of Premium Motor Spirit because of the forces of demand and supply and depreciation in the foreign exchange rate.

‎This was disclosed by the spokesperson of IPMAN, Chinedu Ukaduke to News men on Tuesday, commenting on why Nigerians did not see a drastic fuel price crash in the local market despite the downturn in global crude oil prices, which stood at $65 per barrel and $61 for Brent and WTI crude blends.
