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.
