Filling stations in Ibadan metropolis are yet to effect the reduction in the fuel pump price to 162 naira as announced last week by the federal government.
Radio Nigeria correspondent who visited some petroleum stations in Apete, Sango, Mokola and Dugbe areas observed that they were still selling at 168 naira.
One of the dealers of the stations who did not want his name mentioned said marketers were yet to receive directives from the authorities about the five naira reduction.
He maintained that the new price if effected would bring huge loss to the marketers noting that the earlier announcement by federal government was not appropriate.
Some motorists expressed displeasure over the situation saying that the government needed to carry marketers along before the reduction.
Two of them, Mr John Adekola and Mr Sulaimon Okebukola said the situation should be addressed in time to reduce the hardship being experienced by people.
