By Muhammad Ibrahim, Sokoto

……result causes hike on food products, other social amenities

Unconnected with the facts that there are over 100 filling stations in Sokoto but the fuel marketers are not joining other states to sales at N500 per litre.

In neighbouring states they complied with the national price of N500 per litre but Sokoto marketers are making efforts to hike the price which adds more problems to the common man as the transportation from one place to another cannot be possible to common man.

The prevailing fuel scarcity has worsened as some marketers were alleged to have hoarded the product making the scarcity causing long queues in few filling stations that dispensed the product.

Findings by our correspondent also revealed that some filling stations sold the product as high as N750-N800 per liter with the resultant hike in transport fares and increase in the prices of goods and services in the state.

There was also an allegation that some oil marketers resolved to be taking turns to sell the product.

A commercial motorcyclist who declined to be named said there are over 100 filling stations within the state metropolis but that presently less than 30 of them sell fuel despite information they have adequate fuel.
