Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The Nigeria Midstream and Downstream Petroleum Regulatory Authority (NMDPRA), Bauchi State has closed 10 illegal petrol stations in the state for alleged violation of rules.<\/p>\n

NMDPRA\u2019s Controller of Operations, Mr Abdullahi Iliyasu, in an interview on Thursday said the petrol stations were sealed for the breach of safety measures such as non-provision of fire extinguishers as well as sand buckets.<\/p>\n

He noted that some of the sanctioned filling stations were caught shortchanging customers by under-delivering products to consumers.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are investigating the matter for appropriate measures,\u201d the official said.<\/p>\n

He assured that the agency would continue to intensify efforts on surveillance and routine inspection of all petroleum outlets to stop the diversion of products.<\/p>\n

\u201cRegular surveillance and inspection will prevent diversion of products and ensure unhindered delivery of manifested products to designated filling stations.\u201d<\/p>\n
