Ondo State Govt Orders Sharp Sand Dealers To Revert To Old Price Or Relocate

Ondo  state government  has ordered sharp sand  dealers in the state to revert their price back to 25 thousand naira or leave the state. 

Speaking  to journalists  in Akure the state capital,  the senior special assistant  to the governor on special  duties,  Dr Doyin odebowale  said the state government  can no longer tolerate  the manner with which  sharp sand  dealers take advantage  of the people  to exploit them. 

According  to him, the sand   dealers have no justifiable  reasons to increase the price of sand from 25 to 60  thousand naira when the price of the  same trip of sharp sand is sold at 25  thousand naira  or less in Ekiti  state.

Efforts are on by the  State govermet to checkmate other  unions  to ensure that  their  activities do not end  up exploiting the masses who are daily  struggling  to make ends meet.
