According to a report by Premium Times, the governor visited TDK petrol station along Oda road in Akure, the state capital, and ordered the sales of petrol to motorists at the approved pump price.
The governor's move comes amid numerous reports that fuel stations in the state were exploiting customers by hoarding products and selling at between N180 and N200 per litre.
According to the governor, he had received reports that the particular fuel station was selling the product above the approved price.
