Fuel attendants ignorant of petrol price reduction

By Raymond Gukas, Jos

As the  Federal Government Wednesday, approved a the reduction in the pump price of petrol, most fuel attendants in Jos, Plateau State capital are ignorant of the development.

The government at its weekly Federal Executive Council meeting slashed pump price of Petrol from N145 per litre to N125 per litre with immediate effect.

However, with the NNPC reports complying with the directive,  some independent marketers and even major marketers of the products are yet to  comply.

Though, most motorists received the reduction with mixed feelings, complaints dominate the cut in the pump price, wondering how soon will they enjoy this price cut.

A motorist in a fuel station in Dadi Kowa area of Jos South local government, Mrs Martha Alang  say that she  bought the product for the old price as most fuel stations in Jos  are yet to  comply.

At a fuel station in Dadi kowa a pump  attendant who did not want her name in print  told our correspondent that she is   yet to get a directive to start selling the product  at the new rate.
