The Nigerian Mainstream and Downstream Petroleum Regulatory Authority (NMDPRA) has warned filling station owners operating in Kogi state to desist from under dispensing of petrol to consumers, assuring that the agency will not hesitate in sanctioning any offender.

The Coordinator of NMDPRA in Kogi state, Godwin Ogbe, gave the warning in his office in Lokoja, the Kogi State capital, while interacting with members of the Correspondent’s Chapel of Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ), Kogi state council.

He stressed that the authority will not tolerate any nefarious activities that will undermine the effort of President Ahmed BolaTinubu’s administration aimed at ensuring that petroleum products are available for Nigerians.

“Filling station owners in Kogi state should desist from any act that is capable of jeopardizing the effort of the federal government in the supply and sales of petrol.

“Any marketer that cuts corner or under dispense petrol or cooking gas in Kogi state, we will clampdown on such marketer by imposing heavy sanctions.
