The Department of Petroleum Resources (DPR) sealed up the NNPC petrol station for illegaly hoarding fuel and denying customers the right of purchase in Uyo, Akwa Ibom state.

“The fuel scarcity is not experienced only in Akwa Ibom, it is a national problem. Yesterday, we got two trucks of the product for Uyo.
