The Department of Petroleum Resources (DPR) Gombe Field, has called on
the independent marketers to desist from creating artificial scarcity
of petroleum products during the yuletide.
Mr Abdullahi Abawa, Operations Comptroller, made the call while briefing newsmen on Thursday in Gombe.
He said the present administration had done everything possible to ensure availability of the product all over the country.
“So please, we don’t want any artificial scarcity of products because
we are not going to take it lightly with any marketer who engages in
diversion, sales above official pump price, under dispensing and
tampering of pumps.
“We are going round for surveillance, if any marketer does not
sleep, the DPR will not sleep because we are going to launch serious
surveillance,” he said.
He then advised the Liquefied Petroleum and Gas Product (LPG) dealers
to obtain approval from DPR for the safety of their operations and
success of their businesses.
According to him, people are at risk and it is not appropriate to
operate without approval because of the hazards associated with the LPG.
