The people of Yewa living in border communities such as Idi-Iroko, Imeko-Afon, Oja-Odan and other border areas in Ogun State have appealed to President
Bola Tinubu to cancel the ban on the supply of petroleum products to communities within a 20-kilometre radius of the country’s border with the Republic of Benin.
According to Amusan: “The suspension order by the Federal Government since 2019 has negatively impacted socio-economic activities with attendant hardships on the lives and livelihoods of people living in the border towns and communities like the Idi-Iroko axis as only four independent petroleum marketers are allowed to dispense the commodity to hundreds of thousands of people living in the area.”
Yewa residents said that with the removal of fuel subsidy by President Tinubu, the subsisting restriction order on the supply of the product to the affected border communities “is no longer justified.”
