Abia State Governor, Okezie IkpeazuAbia State Government has warned independent marketers not to sell the Premium Motor Spirit, popularly known as petrol, above the official N145 price.
The state Commissioner for Petroleum, Mr Chizuru Kalu told marketers them to henceforth strictly abide by the rules and regulation in dispersing their product to the masses.
He frowned at the level of impunity being practised by the filling stations and irregularities in adjusting their pump price to suit their business while the masses suffer in vain.
“Every station must sell at government approved pump price,” he said while monitoring some filling stations on Thursday.
He added, “The state government can no longer condole the irregularities and adjustment in the prices and would not hesitate to sanction airing marketers and their filling station.”
Mr Kalu also faulted the assertion blaming the unavailability of fuel on NNPC as alleged by some quarters.
