Normalcy has returned to Anambra State following the strike declared by the Independent Petroleum Marketers of Nigeria (IPMAN) on Wednesday, which partly paralyzed economic activities in the state.

It was gathered that the marketers shelved the strike after its leadership met with officials of Anambra State Government Wednesday evening. The marketers had embarked on strike in solidarity with some of its members, whose fuel stations had been demolished without compensation because they were built in residential areas.

The state Commissioner for Public Utilities and Domestic Water Development, Obi Nwankwo told newsmen that, “Both sides (Government and IPMAN) have agreed that within three weeks of this agreement, they will form a joint committee to discuss in details the issue of compensation and relocation of the two filling stations, around which the strike revolves.’’
