4 filling stations, two gas stations sealed in A’Ibom

The Nigerian Midstream and Downstream Petroleum Regulatory Authority, NMDPRA, in Eket has sealed four filling stations and two gas plants due to the non-renewal of licenses and inadequate maintenance practices.

This was revealed by Ikechukwu Eseka, the Authority’s Coordinator, during a routine inspection of petrol stations in Uyo on Friday.

“Some of the filling stations are sealed for non-renewal of licenses and poor housekeeping in the state,” he said.

Eseka said that the filling stations were sealed in Uyo, the state capital.

He warned marketers against under-dispensing, hoardings or diverting of petroleum products.

Eseka said the Authority was also carrying surveillance for housekeeping to ensure that the facilities were up to standard in the state.
