Motorists in Oyo town are gradually heaving a sigh of relief as more filling stations have petrol to sell, although not at the government-regulated price.
As a result, the long queue which characterized fuel sales in the ancient town up till last weekend has disappeared, except at four popular filling stations selling the product for one hundred and sixty-five naira per litre.
Our correspondent reports that at other stations, petrol now sells for between two hundred and twenty naira and three hundred naira per litre; although it is higher at black markets located along Idigba – Ibadan expressway.
Our correspondent also reports that commuters are still groaning under hiked intra city transport fare amidst fears by residents that the situation was tending towards an announcement of new fuel prices by the government.
Some of the residents who expressed concern over the careless attitude of people to safety while handling petrol advised the government against price increase at this time.
