Oshiomhole sacks Petroleum Committee chairman, Idahagbon

Edo State Governor, Adams Oshiomhole has terminated the appointment of Chairman of the state Petroleum Monitoring Committee, Mr Soni Idahagbon.

He was fired for ‘negligence and dereliction of duty’.

Idahagbon has been directed to hand over all government properties in his possession to the Permanent Secretary, (Administration) Government House within 24 hours.

However, other members of the Committee have been suspended and must go through screening before being reconsidered for re-engagement.

This means some of them will be dropped.

Oshiomhole also warned petroleum dealers in the state that they stand the risk of their land being revoked if they do not return to the official price of petroleum products.
