Filling stations and depots flouting the Federal Government’s directive on the sell of Premium Motor Spirit (PMS) may not find it easy, officials of the Department of Petroleum Resources and the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission have said.

The DPR in Port Harcourt, Rivers State in collaboration with the EFCC were on surveillance around some filling stations and depots in the state to ensure compliance with the official pump price of 86.50 Naira.

Erring stations were sealed by the DPR while some found to be complying were instructed to sustain their operations.

The representative of the Petroleum Regulating Agency, Prince Oshodi, told reporters that the directive of the Minister of State for Petroleum Resources to seal erring stations for three months and made to pay a fine of one million Naira would be strictly enforced.
