NMDPRA threatens to revoke petrol stations’ licences over under-dispensing
The Nigerian Midstream and Downstream Petroleum Regulatory Authority has warned petrol station operators against under-dispensing petroleum products, saying persistent or serious violations could lead to the revocation of their licences.
The authority disclosed this in a circular issued on Tuesday in Abuja, saying it had observed incidents of under-dispensing at retail outlets nationwide.
The NMDPRA described the practice as “a serious breach of consumer trust that will not be tolerated.”
It directed all retail outlet operators to immediately calibrate and verify their dispensers and totalisers to ensure accurate measurement of petroleum products sold to consumers.
The authority said, “To safeguard the interests of consumers, all retail outlet operators are hereby directed to carry out immediate calibration and verification of all dispensers and totalizers.
