Many fuel stations in Ibadan have been under lock and keys.
Only NNPC sells the product at the official N580 per litre. The few available station selling the product have very long queues.
When Corenews moved around Asejire, Badeku, Fasade, Egbeda, Oluwo, Adegbayi, Alakia, Brewery down to Iwo Road axis, it was observed that only NIPCO sells at a fairer price of N620 per litre.
The queues were also long at the station as many commercial drivers parked by the road side to have a quick buy with their kegs.
However, a few other independent station that sells fuel sells between N730-N750 per litre. Some motorists also patronise them but had no queue.
As at the time of this report, out of the over 20 filling stations in the axis, only about four are selling the product.
It was gathered that many of the Independent marketers prefers to sell the product at odd hours, while still selling between N700 – N750 per litre.
