Consumers of fuel in Warri and Effurun, Delta State are groaning the current scarcity as well as hike in the price of fuel, Fresh Angle International Investigation reveals.
Our Correspondent, who went round the twin cities of Warri and Effurun, on Monday February 22, gathered that filling stations belonging to Major Marketers do not dispense the product, while those owned by Independent Marketers sell a litre of petrol for between N100 and N120 as against the Federal Government regulated price of N86.50k.
Independent Marketers reportedly sell Premium Motor Spirit, PMS, to consumers between 5:30am and 9:00am as well as 5:00pm and 9:00pm daily, to allegedly avoid monitoring by officials of the Department of Petroleum Resources, DPR.
Most of the consumers who spoke to Our Correspondent on condition of anonymity challenged DPR officials to step up their monitoring and appealed to the Federal and Delta State governments to ensure the product is available at the approved price so as to alleviate their suffering.
