DPR Seals off Seven Filling Stations in Ibadan

By Web News 768

The Department of Petroleum Resources, DPR, has sealed off seven filling stations in Ibadan for selling Premium motor spirit, PMS, above the official pump price.

The filling stations were sealed during a monitoring exercise in Ibadan.

Out of sixty four filling stations visited in Ibadan, seven were sealed for noncompliance while others were cautioned against violating the agency’s regulations.

The exercise took most of the attendants of filling stations unaware as officials of the agency caught them red handed.

At Apata Omi- Adio axis of Ibadan, most filling stations were selling PMS, 170 per liter, and other shut their door to customers.

The officials measured liters of petrol with the official gauge to ascertain whether the commodity was being sold with the right measurement.

Speaking on the exercise, DPR, Controller, Ibadan Field Office, Mrs Comfort Ajayi said artificial scarcity in Ibadan for the past two weeks was as a result of anticipation that there would be increase on fuel pump price the dealers.

Mrs Ajayi however advised Nigerians against stocking the commodity to avoid fire outbreak.

Two officers of the affected filling stations expressed why they were selling with the wrong gauge.

Radio Nigeria correspondent Olukemi Akintunde who was part of the monitoring team observed that queue had disappeared in Ibadan as most filling stations were opened and selling at approved official pump price. 

The Federal Government had last Friday refuted the increase in pump price and directed all marketers to revert to official pump price between 162 to 165 naira per liter

Fuel Scarcity: DPR To Sanction Marketers Hoarding Products

By Web News 562

The Department of Petroleum Resources (DPR) says it will sanction marketers engaged in the hoarding of petroleum products in their outlets.

Director-General of DPR, Mr. Sarki Auwalu gave the warning in a statement issued on Tuesday in Lagos.

Auwalu said the warning was necessitated by the emergence of queues in retail outlets in some states of the federation.

According to him, from available records, there is product sufficiency in the country and there is no need for hoarding by any marketer.

Auwalu said: “The regulatory agency has set up a special task force to intensify surveillance and monitoring of all retail outlets and depots nationwide to check the anomaly.”

He, therefore, advised the general public against panic buying.

New Pump Price: Most Filling Stations in Ibadan Yet to Comply

By Web News 820

Filling stations in Ibadan Metropolis are yet to comply with the federal government’s directive to reduce the pump price of petroleum from 145 to 125 naira.

A team of Radio Nigeria correspondents who monitored the level of compliance in filling stations at Felele, Oke-Ado, Dugbe, and Mokola areas of Ibadan observed that most of the filling stations were still selling at the old price of #145.

An independent marketer claimed that they were still waiting for a directive from the Department of Petroleum Resources, DPR.

Also, at Bovas, a fuel attendant explained that modalities for the reduction in pump price had not been adequately communicated to them.

Meanwhile, some residents of Ibadan have expressed displeasure that despite the directive to take immediate effect, filling stations are yet to comply.

They advised relevant government agencies to ensure enforcement of this directive in filling stations.
