The Yenagoa Bayelsa State Field Office of Department of Petroleum Resources (DPR) has began moves to checkmate panic buying, price hacking and other sharp practices by petrol retailers to avoid the yearly fuel queue witnessed during festive period.

Under the directives from the headquarters of the petroleum monitoring outfit, the Yenagoa field officers, yesterday, paid unscheduled visits to petrol stations in the metropolis to ensure full compliance.

Though no filling station was found wanting, some of the stations visited were seen dispensing fuel to costumers at the regulated price of between N141 and N145, with no queue noticed.

Most of the stations manager who spoke to newsmen assured of petroleum products availability during the season and beyond, as they have full stocks to take care of consumers.
Leader of the DPR field office, Ibinabo Jack, who represented the Head of Operation, said the measure was to ensure that petrol retail outlets comply with regulations to avoid panic paying, which most times leads to scarcity.

He said: “We ensure that these retail outlets comply with the regulations. That is why we are here. The few station visited were selling with the regulated pump price, there were no queue at the stations.“Generally, the state is peaceful and there is sufficiency. As you can see, some of the stations still have stock and they are still expecting more to come. “We are not envisaging any short supply, price increase above the regulated pump price or panic paying.”

Good way to go......
Good to see that this will be the first time after many years that nobody in the country is afraid of fuel scarcity during the festive season.

Thumbs up FG.
Thus is the change we voted for!

Commendable

The rate of adjustment in their meter is unacceptable. How can 1000 fuel not serve me for 8hours. If I suffer from power holding companies, I go still suffer from fuel shortage and theft.

Good job DPR

Correct

At least, we have improved a bit even though at a slow speed. With time we shall get there.

Kudos DPR

In the past the news reads ...."DPR monitors filling stations for hoarding of petrol as fuel crisis deepens"


Either you like it or not, something is working.

Why would there be when fuel is N145. With which money are Nigerians going to buy fuel when they are battling to with high cost of food items.
