Some retail outlets around Maitama, Wuse, Gwarimpa, Wuye and Kubwa Expressways were selling fuel, while others were not.
IPMAN president said the body was working with the federal government to resolve fuel scarcity.
The transportation fares were increased by between N100 to N150, depending on the route.
The petroleum marketers said they were shutting down operations “not because we are on strike, but because we can no longer do business under this condition.”
“The huge amount spent running the diesel trucks to transport fuel is very discouraging because we are running at a loss,” the IPMAN president said.
The marketers said Nigerians should prepare for the worst fuel crisis if the FG fails to pay them their claims.
“Part of the ways we can reduce their activities is for governments to begin the establishment of modular refineries in some of these areas.”
IPMAN said many trucks were loading at the depots and, under the current supply, nothing will lead to fuel shortage.
IPMAN urged NUPENG to channel its energy to its members who engage in reckless driving, illegal charges and diversion of petroleum products.
