From Isaac Job, Uyo
The Nigerian Midstream and Downstream Petroleum Regulatory Authority (NMDPRA), in Eket has sealed four petrol stations and two gas plants for refusal to update their licenses and lack of good house keeping culture in their business premises.
Coordinator of the Authority , Barr Ikechukwu Eseka and his team who shut the depot last Friday during a routine surveillance of petrol stations in Akwa Ibom explained four petrol stations were sealed in Uyo while the gas plants were shut in Eket local government area.
“Some of the filling stations are sealed for non-renewal of licenses and poor housekeeping in the state,”
Eseka warned petroleum marketers not to under dispense, hoard or divert petroleum products.
He said the Authority was also carrying out surveillance to check housekeeping of facilities at different petrol stations to ensure standard in the state.
