The denial was made on Friday, January 27, by state IPMAN Chairman, Alhaji Bashir Dan-Malam.

“As leaders of the association, we feel it is necessary to tell our members the truth as the government has no plan to increase fuel price for now,” Dan-Malam told journalists.

“The rumour is a lie and anything you hear that is not from us, ignore it,” he added.
