Ekiti residents propose sanctions for filling stations selling fuel above official price
Residents and petrol users in Ekiti have called on the Petroleum Products Consumer Protection Agency to prevail on filling stations selling fuel above normal pump price to desist from the act.
In an interview on Friday in Ado Ekiti, a resident, Tola Ibigbami, explained that since there was no longer fuel scarcity, filling stations should revert to the approved pump price.
Another resident, Ayo Adegbola, also noted that the increase in the official pump price was one of the reasons for the hike in the price of goods and transport fares.
They both expressed their dissatisfaction over the attitude of the Petroleum Products Consumer Protection Agency, saying that the agency has not been alive to its responsibilities.
