DPR orders massive truck-out of products...

The Department of Petroleum Resources, DPR, Saturday, read the riot act to oil marketers, ordering depots with petroleum products to commence massive truck out of the products to petrol stations and also directed all petrol stations in strategic locations to operate 24/7 throughout the Easter holidays and beyond across the country.

This was contained in a statement signed by its Director, Petroleum Resources, Mr. Mordecai Ladan.
Ladan said, the DPR had constituted special intelligence monitoring teams nationwide to ensure prompt delivery of petroleum products to designated filling stations, adding that the teams would enforce government-approved price regime and ensure the right quantity and quality of products are dispensed. 
He further warned that the N2 million sanction against fuel depots found engaging in overpricing of petroleum products and N100,000 per dispensing pump sanction against filling stations found to be selling above the regulated price and other related offences are still in force.

 He stated that any marketer found to be hoarding would have their products dispensed free to the public while diversion of products would attract a penalty of N200 per litre. 
He said, “In addition, offenders’ operating licences would be suspended for a minimum of three months or outright revocation depending on the magnitude of the offense.
