 The Petroleum Monitoring Committee in Osun state  on Thursday  warned owners of  filling station in the state against the diversion of PMS (Petrol), declaring that anyone found to have hoarded the fuel allocated to the state will face the wrath of the law.

 Chairman of the Petroleum Monitoring Committee , Hon Kazeem Akinleye in a statement  made available to Team@orientactualmags.com noted that the information gotten  from the relevant agencies revealed that Osun state was allocated several tankers of PMS which had not however reflected across filling stations in the state,  a development that  had clearly shown  that there were cases of diversion.

Hon. Akinleye, who is also  Governor Ademola Adeleke’s Chief of Staff, said the PMS Monitoring committee has contacted the relevant authorities and was therefore aware of the actual PMS allocation to Osun state including the actual list of companies and  the filling stations that were expected to take delivery of the PMS.

‘We have contacted the top management of the NNPC Limited and we have full details of Oil marketers and the exact number of PMS allocated to each of them from January to date. There is clear evidence that some owners of filling stations are diverting PMS instead of bringing such to Osun.

We are by this statement placing on notice all owners of filling stations in Osun state that we have all the facts about  the allocated PMS. We will soon commence physical monitoring exercise and we will not hesitate to invoke regulatory actions on those found wanting.

To make the exercise very inclusive , His Excellency, Mr Governor has approved the expansion of the committee to include members of civil society coalition. The committee will hold its maiden meeting very soon’ Alhaji Akinleye noted.

Hon Akinleye told members of the public that the committee had since hit the ground running and had begun its job by getting to the root of actual PMS allocation to the state, informing them that the monitoring activities will expose those behind current untold hardship being inflicted on the good people of Osun State.

‘As part of the palliative measures, we are looking into various options. One of such include temporary free bus ride especially within the high population areas which will be launched very soon

We reassure the public that the state government is acting fast to ease the burden and pain our people are passing through. The impact of several efforts we are making will soon be felt by the people’ the statement added-Team@orientactualmags.com
