Residents of Ogun border communities of Iwoye-Ketu, Idofa, Ilara, Oke Agbede, Moriwi and Wasinmi Okuta are groaning over the artificial scarcity of petroleum product and the attendant hardship on them, following the closure of borders between Nigeria and neighbouring Republic of Benin by the Federal Government.
Ooye of Iwoye Ketu, a border community in Ogun State, Oba Joel Ademola Alaye, who raised the alarm, alleged that a major fuel scarcity looms in their areas following the partial closure of the borders by the Federal Government. The Monarch noted that the development has compounded the woes of the residents who are still battling with the issue of tomatoes, yam and other perishable goods reportedly seized by the task force, and urged the Federal Government to quickly intervene and bring respite to their plights.
“I’m now appealing to the Federal Government to quickly intervene on the issue of scarcity of fuel because we are all Nigerians doing a legitimate business. The constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria didn’t say that people living at the border areas should not live in good condition. Most of us are predominantly farmers which can’t afford N350 per litre of fuel.
