The Nigerian Midstream and Downstream Petroleum Regulatory Authority, NMDPRA, has launched a nationwide initiative targeting filling stations that are not dispensing refined petroleum products to consumers. This move has left marketers, retailers, and depot owners concerned about potential license revocation for non-compliance. The NMDPRA notified key industry stakeholders, including IPMAN, PETROAN, MOMAN, and DAPPMAN, warning of severe sanctions for persistent or serious violations.
IPMAN and PETROAN have instructed their members to inspect and verify their petroleum product dispensing meters to evade penalties. A filling station manager in Abuja, speaking on condition of anonymity, acknowledged under-dispensing practices but noted that they have yet to witness on-site enforcement. Petrol prices in Abuja range from N1,395 to N1,450 per litre, following a recent reduction in prices by Dangote Refinery.
