The Supreme Court had ordered on Wednesday that the deadline should be postponed while the Kaduna, Kogi, and Zamfara State governors\u2019 appeal of their case was being heard. The case will be heard on February 15 by the court. Abubakar Malami, SAN, the Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, claimed, among other things, that the Supreme Court lacked jurisdiction over the case in his answer to the lawsuit later on Wednesday.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n<strong>FG Vows Sanctions For Fuel Marketers Rejecting POS, Transfers<\/strong>\n<\/p>\n<p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/ng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/d24850c548c64c518c56da581c193af3\"\/>\n<\/p>\n<p>\n<strong>Source: Punch Newspapers <\/strong>\n<\/p>\n<p>\nTo the usage of Point of Sale devices and the acceptance of bank transfers at the various outlets, the Federal Government started deploying security agents to gas stations around the nation on Thursday.
