Plateau State Government has warned petroleum product dealers against hoarding the products with the view of creating artificial scarcity.
In a statement by the Secretary to the State Government (SSG), Prof. Danladi Atu in Jos, the government said that it would seal such filling stations found culpable.
The government said the actions of the stations were causing untold hardship to commuters and other users of fuel commodities.
According to SSG, the management committee on Road Traffic Administration and Vehicle Inspectors has been mandated to ensure that the act is forestalled.
He said: “The task force is equally directed to seal off any filling station found to be hoarding the products and auction same, please.”
