He said the government would begin to apply sanctions against any station found wanting within the next two weeks.

The commissioner further called on all stations in the state to adhere strictly to the prescribed price template of the Petroleum Product Pricing Regularly Agency.

He said that his team was on sensitization visit to the stations, warning that his ministry would also commence sealing off of erring stations soon.
