The Department of Petroleum Resources is enforcing the new price range of N121.5 to N123.5/litre for petrol at filling stations across the country and has shut down errant outlets selling above the stipulated rate. It was gathered that all zonal operations controllers of the DPR agreed to inspect and enforce the new price after finding that some filling stations had yet to comply with the regulation on petrol prices. The Zonal Operations Controller, Abubakar Buba while speaking during the inspection of filling stations in Abuja and neighbouring states on Wednesday, said the DPR had also been notified that many outlets were under-dispensing products. He said they are on surveillance to make sure that these marketers don’t cheat the public by selling above the pump price or by under-dispensing and ensuring they don’t divert products to neighbouring states. He said the filling stations of defaulters had been shut by the agency until the companies were ready to comply with the new price. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
