Fresh fuel scarcity is set to hit Delta State as members of the Independent Petroleum Marketers Association of Nigeria (IPMAN) and the Nigeria Union of Petroleum and Natural Gas Workers (NUPENG) have announced an indefinite strike beginning Monday, September 8, 2025.
The decision followed an emergency meeting held on Saturday, September 6, 2025, where both unions resolved to shut down all filling stations across the state from 6:00 a.m. on Monday until further directives are issued by their national leadership.
In a circular distributed to marketers, the unions warned that any filling station found operating during the strike would be fined ₦1 million.
