The Nigerian Mainstream and Downstream Petroleum Regulatory Authority (NMDPRA) says they will sanction any filling station owners that engaged in sharp practices in dispensing gasoline to consumers in Kogi State.
The State Coordinator, Godwin Ogbe, gave the warning while speaking with journalists in Lokoja.
According to him, the authority will not tolerate any nefarious activities that will undermine the effort of President Bola Tinubu to ensure that petroleum products are available for Nigerians.
“Filling station owners in Kogi State should desist from any act that is capable of jeopardising the effort of the Federal Government in the supply and sales of petrol.
“Any marketer that cuts corners or dispenses petrol or cooking gas in Kogi State, we will clamp down on such marketer by imposing heavy sanctions.
“You can not 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.
Ogbe, who also warned marketers against racketeering and selling in jerry cans at night, urged them to get approval from the authority if there is any reason to reserve fuel for customers.
He appealed to the public to always report illegal activities of the fuel marketers to NMDPRA for appropriate action.
