Following the scarcity of petrol and long queues at filling stations in Ekiti State, Governor Biodun Oyebanji, has cautioned marketers in the state against hoarding petroleum products.
The governor in a statement by his Special Adviser on Media, Mr. Yinka Oyebode, pleaded with the marketers to await further directives on the implementation of the planned subsidy removal by the federal government.
He implored them to avoid actions capable of inflicting hardship on the citizens.
To this end, Governor Oyebanji has summoned the leadership of the National Union of Petroleum and Natural Gas Workers, NUPENG, to a meeting in his office later on Tuesday.
According to the governor, heavy sanctions await any filling station or marketer found hoarding petroleum products or involved in arbitrary increases and other sharp practices in the state.
The Governor urged the citizens of the state to go about their daily activities peacefully and avoid any rancorous situation.
