The Lagos State Government has concluded arrangements to regulate activities of major and independent petroleum marketers operating on major roads and traffic-prone areas.

The state Commissioner for Transportation, Dr Frederic Oladeinde, said this in a statement on Thursday in Lagos.

Mr Oladeinde said the move by the Ministry of Transportation to regulate activities of the marketers was necessary due to lingering fuel scarcity across the country.

He said that petroleum marketers whose filling stations were on major highways and areas susceptible to traffic would henceforth, be allowed to operate only between 9.00 a.m and 4. O0 p.m daily, pending when the fuel shortage crisis subsided.

Mr Oladeinde said that the government had charged the Lagos State Traffic Management Authority, Vehicle Inspection Service, Transport Operations Compliance Unit and other law enforcement agencies to ensure seamless flow of traffic across the state.

He advised all major and independent petroleum marketers to comply with the directive or be sanctioned.
