INDEPENDENT PETROLEUM MARKETERS WERE FORCED TO CUT DOWN PRICE IN EKITI TO BELOW N200 PER LITRE..

       Independent petroleum marketers in Ekiti have reduced fuel price to below N200 per litre.
The new price is coming second day of the sale of petroleum in the government's house pump to the public.
Governor Ayodele Fayose had on Monday directed the sale of the fuel at pump price of N145 per litre to the public to cushion the effect of the hardship of the fuel scarcity during Christmas.
A tour round the state capital on Wednesday shows that the sale of the government fuel was still ongoing at Alade Filling Station, Iyin Ekiti road.Also Phenrose Oil and Gas, Irona was selling the fuel at N180 per litre to motorists.NIPCO filling station at Adebayo Road and Akinbami filling station in Ureje also sell at N190 per litre.This was against the price of N400 and N500 per litre it was sold at black market on Monday, and also the N250 and N200 some filing stations were selling before Monday.Many of the independent marketers had been selling fuel at outrageous prices before the intervention of Fayose.Many independent marketers who had been hoarding the commodity in anticipation of a hike in price are now forced to sell the products.An manager in one of the Independent marketters' outfit, who spoke to Correspondents and pleaded anonymity, said the root cause of the fuel scarcity is that independent marketers had been getting pump price at N150 from source, and had a dilemma of selling it at official price of N145 or N143 as some or them were known for."Truth of the matter and root cause of this fuel palaver is that the Independent marketers have been getting fuel litre at N150 from source, these marketers have a dilemma of selling above official pump price of N145 and gain but incur the wrath of the members of the public or sell at either N145 or below, and lose in the transaction. But some of them are wise , instead of selling all the content they receive, they rather divert bigger amount of it to smaller filling stations who took turns to sell to members of or he public at exorbitant costs of N200 or N250 and above. This is why the major marketters do not have much fuel to sell to members of the public who queue at their stations for days with it getting fuel. I do not think you would blame them for doing this because no one wants to do business and fail, he said. ".In another development, the reduced prices and stoppage of fuel hoarding are only morw pronounced in the state capital. In some other towns that are outskirts of Ekiti, residents still complain of either not getting fuel and having to rely on black market sales of N550, and above or getting fuel from very few filling stations at N280 or N250.

  SSANU, NASU threaten strike over withheld salaries The Joint Action Committee of the Senior Staff Association of Nigerian Universities and the Non-Academic Staff Union of Educational and Associated Institutions have threatened to disrupt industrial peace in universities should the government fail to release the withheld salaries of members. The salaries were seized by the administration of former President Muhammadu Buhari during their strike in 2022. The unions, in a joint letter signed on Friday by the President of SSANU, Muhammed Ibrahim and General Secretary of NASU, Peters Adeyemi, questioned the rationale with which the government released four months withheld salaries to members of the Academic Staff Union of Universities but failed to release the withheld salaries of non-academic staff. The unions noted that they would no longer be able to assure the government of industrial peace in universities should the amounts owed by the government are not released. Earlier, the uni...
