Hike in price of petrol in Akwa

Our correspondent on Tuesday who monitored the situation in the area said, independent marketers in Akwa sells between N200 and N210 per liter in Awka and it’s environs and most of the independent marketers had the product with no queues. However at the NNPC mega station sells at official price N162.50, with a little queue.

The Acting Director, Public Complaints Commission ( PCC) in Anambra, Mr. Charles Ekwunife, disclosed that his office has been getting complaints about the hike in the price of petrol.

Ekwunife speaking on behalf of the Federal Commissioner of PCC Anambra state, Mrs Emelda Okoli, said the complaints were taken with all seriousness, because it was economic injustice against the people, although the Commission lacked the power to act on any complain, hence, called other regulatory authorities to stop the act.

Chairman of Petroleum Dealers Association of Nigeria Anambra state, Mr Cletus Obiokafor, said marketers selling at N200 and above are those with old stock, he however appealed to the people to be patient.
