| Fuel Pump |
No fewer than Ten (10) filling stations were shut
down by the state Department of Petroleum Resources (DPR) in ilorin Nigeria for
their alleged refusal to dispense fuel to consumers at the new pump price of
N87 per litre.
The stations which were sealed off by the DPR
belong to major and independent marketers located in Ilorin, the state capital.
The federal government had directed all oil
marketers to comply with the new price following persistent crude oil price
reduction in the global market.
Speaking with journalists in Ilorin after the
monitoring of the compliance with the new price fuel regime in the state, the
Operation Controller of the state DPR, Amos Jokodola, who led members of the
enforcement team of the department, said the excuse given by the affected
stations for failure to comply with the government’s directive was not
acceptable.
Jokodola vowed that the petrol stations would
remain closed until they were ready to revert to the new pump price of N87 per
litre.
