Anambra State Committee on Procurement, Pricing Regulation and Distribution of Petroleum Products has commenced monitoring and enforcement inspection in filling stations across the State.
The exercise led by the Chairman of the committee, Chief Chris Okonkwo took the team to filling stations in Awka South, Njikoka and Oyi local government areas respectively.
Speaking to newsmen shortly after the inspection, Chief Okonkwo said that the essence of the inspection is to ensure that petroleum Marketers are selling the product at government approved pump price of one hundred and seventy five naira per liter.
He maintained that the task force will equally deal decisively with any Marketer who flouts the order, adjusted dispensing meter or sell adulterated products.
Chief Okonkwo appealed to Ndi Anambra to furnish the committee with information about any Marketer who goes against the order or shortchanging consumers anywhere in Anambra State.
Some of the Marketers who spoke to the ABS promised that they will abide by the order given by the government at all times and appealed to relevant authorities to always make the product available.
