Africa-Press<\/a> – Nigeria<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>The Department of Petroleum Resources (DPR) on Monday in Jalingo, Taraba State, said it had sealed ten filling stations for selling petroleum products above the official price.<\/p>\n

The Controller of Taraba Field Operation\u2019s Office, Mr Jeremiah Mashat, explained that the action was to make sure that filling stations complied with the government-approved price.<\/p>\n

Mashat noted that Marketers must adhere to all regulations governing the downstream sector of the petroleum industry.<\/p>\n

According to him, we are out to ensure that those who use petroleum products in the state are not shortchanged.<\/p>\n

He said all marketers must comply with the official price of N162 and N165 per litre.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe were able to seal ten filling stations in Jalingo.<\/p>\n

\u201cBefore now, we sent out a team that monitored the sale of the product and as well warmed them not to sell above government approved price.<\/p>\n

\u201cTo our dismay, some of the marketers went ahead and violated the order, and that is why we had no option but to sanction them accordingly.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey must pay fine for violating our rules and that will serve as a deterrent to many other potential violators,\u201d Mashat was quoted by NAN as saying.<\/p>\n

However, Alhaji Lukman Mohammed, the Chairman of the Independent Petroleum Marketers Association of Nigeria (IPMAN), Taraba chapter, said the clampdown was unnecessary due to the recent increase in depot charges.<\/p>\n

He said the union would hold a meeting with the DPR and discuss how to resolve the impasse.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
