Members’ staff of the organization was on the streets to monitor compliance of the petroleum product pricing and regulatory agency PPPRA directives on the new pricing which most fuel stations in the state have ignored as they continued to sell over n140 per litre.

Work has already resume at the public and private offices as the state and federal secretariats in Jos, north central Nigeria, in compliance with the directive of the Nigerian Labour Congress (NLC), as well as banks and markets.

But residents in the city and environs are confronted with long queues at the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation Mega Station following the announcement of the new pump price which independent oil marketers have not adhered to.

The DPR in Jos went round the filling stations to enforce compliance with the new order in price regime.
