DPR Shuts Two NNPC Affiliated Stations In Niger

DPR has begun clamp down on petroleum marketers in Niger State as they sealed off two NNPC affiliated stations in Minna.

The Controller of the Department of Petroleum Department (DPR) in the state, Engineer Abdullahi Jankara, and his team made the closure of the petrol service stations in Nigeria’s northern region.

The DPR boss said that they have kicked off intensified surveillance to various filling stations in Minna and its environs where many stations were compelled to sell at government approved price and desist from hoarding the product.

The two NNPC associated filling stations sealed were NNPC Shango located along the Minna/Suleja road and NNPC Maitumbi along the Minna/Gwada road.

Mr Jankara has also compelled some independent marketers found to be selling the product above government approved pump price to reverse the price back to 86.50 Naira per litre while they ensured that all product carried in to the state were dispensed accordingly
