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.
