The Taskforce committee on fuel scarcity constituted by Gov. Biodun Oyebanji has placed some fuel stations in Ado-Ekiti, Omuo and other towns in the state under surveillance but names not mentioned for suspected diversion of petroleum products meant for their outlets and the people.
The Chairman of the Taskforce committee, Mr. Adesokan Israel said this in an interview with newsmen on Saturday in Ado Ekiti.
Jaru, who led the field monitoring team, said products distributed by NNPC to the marketers are expected to arrive the petrol stations in within 24 hours.
“The issue of diversion has become worrisome and the Government of the day, under the capable leadership of Gov. Biodun Oyebanji will nip it in the bud in the interest of his Ekiti people most especially the masses,” Jaru said.
The Chairman urges the petrol dealers and stations not to hoard any of it or hike the cost as there would be serious consequences if they do. The Task Force will duly monitor the sales proceeding. The petrol is to be sold to the good people of Ekiti at the right cost.
The Chairman therefore listed the fueling stations, with the quantity of petrol available to them and what’s expected of them today in Ekiti
