The Federal Government has moved to enforce regulated pump
price of petrol at N87 per litre after days of crazy scarcity. Fuel price rose as much as N500 per litre in past few days of scarcity. The Department of Petroleum Resources (DPR),
in a statement, warned filling stations against selling above the
official pump price or risk being shut down.
The DPR, in a statement by its Head Public Affairs, Dorothy Bassey, tasked Nigerians to report any marketer who sells the product above the regulated price to its officials or law enforcement agents.
“While the Department of Petroleum Resources (DPR) is making every effort to ensure that fuel is available and reaches every part of the nation, it is hereby emphasised that the Federal Government has not increased the price of fuel. “The price remains at N87. Any station caught selling above the stipulated price, will have its licence revoked.“No station should sell in jerry cans as there is enough fuel and for safety reasons. Any station caught dispensing into jerry cans will be sealed. “We ask that the public exercise caution and cooperate with all guidelines and processes for the safety of all,”
