The Department of Petroleum Resources has sealed six filling stations in Akure, the Ondo state capital, for hoarding fuel and refusing to sell to members of the public.
A team, led by the Acting controller for Ondo and Ekiti States, Godwin Obasuyi visited some fuel stations to ensure sale of the product at ?new price of 86 naira, 50 kobo per litre.
Controller Obasuyi expressed displeasure over the marketers’ non
compliance with the federal government’s directive on the new fuel price regime.
But one of the marketers, Tunji Dario said the Federal government is not doing the needful to make the product readily available for sale.
