Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The Bayelsa State Government has directed that no filling station should sell petrol above N230 per litre.<\/p>\n

Though the national price is N165, the government said the fixed amount would ensure availability until fuel scarcity ends.<\/p>\n

Deputy Governor, Lawrence Ewhrudjakpo inaugurated a monitoring team on the pricing and distribution of petroleum products on Thursday.<\/p>\n

Ewhrudjakpo also directed that no consumer should get more than 25 litres in a jerrycan, NAN reports.<\/p>\n

Assuring that the government was taking steps to manage the situation, he lamented that Bayelsa had the least NNPC allocation of petrol.<\/p>\n

The deputy governor said the state\u2019s payment of the same amount for fuel subsidy as states with lion share of allocation was robbing Peter to pay Paul.<\/p>\n

Ewhrudjakpo disclosed that Bayelsa would consider constructing a fuel depot due to the unavailability of fuel.<\/p>\n

Chairman, Bayelsa State Petroleum Taskforce, Richman Samuel, said negotiations brought down the price from N300 per litre to N230.<\/p>\n

Chairman, Petroleum Products Retail Outlets Owners Association of Nigeria (PETROAN), Dukumor Taremi-West, promised that marketers would not take undue advantage of consumers.<\/p>\n
