Pump price of fuel in Ekiti,has hit N600 per litre,Chairman, Ekiti State Petroleum Task Force, Hon. Israel Adesokan,has confirmed.
Speaking during a raid on fuel dealers selling the product above the pump price,Adesokan,described their act as criminal and unacceptable.
He warned that the government of Biodun Abayomi Oyebanji would not condone acts of sabotage or intended to inflict untold hardships on innocent Nigerians.
Effecting the closure of a filling station in Ado-Ekiti ,Adesokan said ” I passed through this place yesterday and this Fuel Station was dispensing its product at N230 but ,because President Bola Ahmed Tinubu declared in his inaugural speech that Fuel Subsidy had gone, these people suddenly increased their pump price to N600.This is pure wickedness and no government would condone this.
“Mr President just talked about it in his address, it has not been implemented yet, so I dont expect anybody to start exploiting motorists or members of the public based on this ”
