The Nigerian Midstream and Downstream Petroleum Regulatory Authority (NMDPRA) has discovered instances of under-dispensing of petroleum products at filling stations throughout Nigeria, leading to an urgent directive for calibration and verification of fuel dispensers across the country. The regulator emphasized the seriousness of this breach of consumer trust, warning that outlets found under-dispensing petroleum products risk severe penalties, including licence revocation.
The NMDPRA's recent actions reflect a broader effort to strengthen regulatory oversight in the downstream petroleum sector following the removal of petrol subsidies and the shift to a market-based pricing system.
