The court granted all the reliefs sought by the plaintiff.
The Federal Government has no
powers to deregulate the downstream petroleum sector and must always fix the
price of petroleum products sold across Nigeria, a Federal High Court in Abuja
has ruled.
Justice M. Bello on Tuesday morning gave the ruling in the case
of Bamidele Aturu versus Minister of Petroleum Resources and the
Attorney General of the Federation.
The judge granted the
six reliefs sought by Mr. Aturu including the sixth which is “AN ORDER
directing the Defendants to fix and publish regularly prices of petroleum
products forthwith.”
