The Nigerian Mainstream and Downstream Petroleum Regulatory Authority (NMDPRA) weekend warned filling station owners operating in Kogi state to desist from under dispensing of petrol to consumers, assuring that sanctions await any offender.
Coordinator of NMDPRA in Kogi state, Godwin Ogbe, gave the warning weekend while interacting with members of Correspondent’s Chapel of Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ) , Kogi state council in Lokoja, the state capital.
He said the authority will not tolerate any nefarious activities that will undermine the effort of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu in ensuring that the petroleum products are available for Nigerians.
“Filling station owners in Kogi state should desist from any act that is capable jeopardising the effort of the federal government in the supply and sales of petrol.
“Any marketer that cuts corner or under dispense petrol or cooking gas in Kogi state, we will clampdown on such marketer by imposing heavy sanctions.
“You cannot be sabotaging the effort of the federal government when you are given the liberty to sell the fuel based on what is being sold to you, therefore we will not tolerate any act of cheating in dispensing the product,” he stated.
