The Nigeria Midstream and Downstream Petroleum Regulatory Authority, NMDPRA, has closed 10 illegal petrol stations for alleged violation of rules in Bauchi State.
The Authority’s Controller of Operations, Abdullahi Iliyasu, stated that the petrol stations were sealed for non-provision of fire extinguishers as well as sand buckets.
Iliyasu noted that some of the sanctioned filling stations were caught shortchanging customers by under-delivering products to consumers.
He assured that the agency would continue to intensify efforts on surveillance and routine inspection of all petroleum outlets.
