ENUGU—Worried by the refusal of independent
marketers in Enugu and Anambra states to
comply with the new N86.5 per litre pump
price for fuel as directed by the Federal
Government with effect from January 1,
residents of the two states have vented their
anger on officials of Department of Petroleum
Resources, DPR, for not enforcing the new
pricing regime for fuel within their areas.

Vanguard checks showed that filling stations
in Enugu and Anambra states have been
selling fuel for N150 per litre despite
directives from Nigeria Union of Petroleum
and Natural Gas Workers, NUPENG, and
Federal Government for them to sell at the
approved pump price of N86.50 per liter.
Amaechi Ukwuani, a motorist in Enugu
regretted that DPR officials had been moving
about enforcing the new pricing system and
sanctioning defaulters in other parts of the
country, but in the South-East geopolitical
zone, especially Enugu and Anambra states, it
had remained business as usual for the
marketers, who continued to sell fuel at N150
per litre.
Ukwuani challenged relevant authorities to
take necessary action on the matter as it
seems that DPR officials in the two states had
been compromised by the marketers.
“One is shocked to see that all filling stations
in Enugu and Anambra states have been
selling fuel above N86.50 per litre despite the
directives from NUPENG and FG for them to
sell at control prices.
“Daily, we see stations being sealed off by
DPR for selling above N86 all over the
federation. Why is the DPR in these South
East states not saying or doing something? It
looks like they have been compromised as
usual.” http://www.vanguardngr.com/2016/01/n86-50-fuel-price-enugu-anambra-residents-lampoon-dpr-officials/

It's not only in those places that the premium motor spirit is sold far above #86.50.
Truth is, in majority of the cities in Nigeria, fuel is sold far above #100, in most cases it's between a hundred naira and a hundred and thirty naira.

Fact is, this present administration thrives on lies, deceits, half-truths and in some cases, absolute falsehood.

Only God will save us!

And you're not happy? Some foolish filling stations in Delta sell at N120

I doubt if Nigeria will ever be good again,an average Nigerian/African have a portion of delinquency inside him.

I thought Buhari has cured corruption in DPR and NNPC.
This is a dent on his profile as Minister of Petroleum. All blames should be ascribed to him till things are done rightly.

Which way nigeria
