DPR Shuts Down Petrol Stations In Kogi

The Department of Petroleum Resources (DPR) in Lokoja, has sealed off dozens of filling stations, for adjusting dispensing pumps and over-charging buyers.

The regulatory agency stormed Lokoja, the Kogi State capital and clamped down on dealers of petroleum products and operators of fuel stations, who sell above the official pump price of 87 Naira per litre.

The DPR is however, in their trail and would continue to clampdown on those selling above the normal pump price .

DPR has the statutory responsibility of ensuring compliance to petroleum laws, regulations and guidelines in the Oil and Gas Industry.

The discharge of these responsibilities involves monitoring of operations at drilling sites, producing wells, production platforms and flow stations, crude oil export terminals, refineries, storage depots, pump stations, retail outlets, any other locations where petroleum is either stored or sold and all pipelines carrying crude oil, natural gas and petroleum products.
