Anambra State Government has invited the leadership of Independent Petroleum Marketers Association of Nigeria (IPMAN) for a meeting over the claim of over N900 million debt to contractors who supplied diesel.
The Anambra State Commissioner for Local Government, Chieftaincy and Community Affairs, TonyCollins Nwabunwanne, made the summon while reacting to the association’s letter of appeal on Thursday, September 14, 2023.
IPMAN had in the letter begged Governor Chukwuma Soludo to pay members who were contractors to the Anambra State Government for the diesel they supplied to power streetlight generators in March and April 2022.
IPMAN said the debt was to the tune of N900,664,805.

Nwabunwanne said the government had taken notice of their complaint and would do everything to protect their businesses.
He however blamed the delay on discrepancies in the claims of the contractors, saying he would meet with the IPMAB leadership to reconcile the figures for settlement.
The commissioner said: ”I have invited the leadership of IPMAN for a meeting early next week for discussion. It is clear that they do not have the correct information on our dealings with the contractors, there are discrepancies.
“So, the meeting will enable us to reconcile these discrepancies and progress to the next step.
“Governor Chukwuma Soludo’s administration is a business friendly one and will do all that is possible to support and help them stay in business.”
