The Nigerian Midstream and Downstream Petroleum Regulatory Authority (NMDPRA) has launched a crackdown on petrol filling stations for under-dispensing petrol to motorists. The regulator has issued a directive to filling station operators nationwide to check and recalibrate their dispensing equipment to ensure customers receive the full quantity of fuel they pay for.
In the past, several filling stations have been sealed for short-measuring customers, with persistent offenders at risk of losing their operating licences. The NMDPRA has observed incidents of under-dispensing at retail outlets across the country, describing the practice as a serious breach of consumer trust. Independent Petroleum Marketers Association of Nigeria (IPMAN) has warned that outlets found under-dispensing or operating improperly calibrated equipment could face sanctions, including licence revocation.
