Department of Petroleum Resources to shut Unregistered Petrol Stations In Akwa Ibom State



  

   The Eket Office of Department of Petroleum Resources, DPR, has  threatened to shut filling stations operating in the state without registering with DPR from August 31st 2017.

   Its Operations Controller, Dr Joseph Briggs gave the warning at a meeting with officials of the Independent Petroleum Marketers of Nigeria, IPMAN, today  in Eket, Akwa Ibom.
   Briggs frowned at marketers who were in the habit of adjusting their fuel pump to short change customers and said that any filling station under-dispensing petroleum products would face the wrath of the law.
   On the issue of kerosene explosion, he said that the department would partner IPMAN members to reduce adulterated petroleum products to the barest minimum.
Earlier,  Chairman of IPMAN in Akwa Ibom State, Ubong Isong, expressed sadness over incessant kerosene explosions in the state.
