Minister of Home Affairs Alfred Maoh says the best news to all drivers on the island is that the fuel price has now dropped to the same price in Port Vila.

The Nikoletan Council of Chiefs of Tanna and Tafea Provincial Government Authorities thanked Pacific Energy for recognising the need for fuel facilities on Tanna.

Pacific Energy's Albery Moux said his company set up the facilities and would continue to provide fuel but the ownership and management of all stations are 100 percent owned by locals.
