The Special Taskforce set up by Osun State Government to monitor lingering petroleum scarcity in the area has raided filling stations in Osogbo Federal Constituency.
The team, led by the Chief of Staff to the Governor, Alhaji Kazeem Akinleye went round filling stations in Osogbo, Ifón, Ilobu today to ensure that marketers do not hoard the product.
At Muhy International Investment filling station at Ayekale in Osogbo, the committee ordered the manager to start dispensing as it was discovered to be hording about 800 litres in it’s PMS tank.
Addressing petrol marketers and members of the public waiting to buy the commodity, Hon. Soji Ajeigbe appreciated the managers of the filling stations that were seen dispensing the products.
According to him, the Taskforce was not out to shut down or witch-hunt any petroleum marketer but to ensure that any station found hoarding the product starts dispensing the products immediately to members of the public.
The team also took time to address citizens on the need to be orderly and law abiding, assuring that the state government is doing everything possible to facilitate more allocation of PMS to the state from the depots in Lagos and Port Harcourt.
