NNPC Commence Sealing Of Petrol Stations Selling Above Pump Price


The Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) says any depot or filling station found selling petrol above the official N86.50 pump price will be sealed for three months.
The Minister for State for Petroleum, Dr Ibe Kachikwu, announced this while addressing newsmen on Monday in Abuja.
He said that licences of those found to have consistently breached the rules and regulations would be withdrawn to ensure discipline in the system.
“With all the effort put in place, it is observed that a lot of filling stations continue to sell at prices above what is stipulated; this is very intolerable.
“It is ripping off innocent Nigerians and they are doing it at a time where there is very zero tolerance for this sort of behaviour.
“So, I am using this opportunity to give last warning to all those who own filling stations and depots to go back to the price approved by Petroleum Products Pricing Regulatory Agency (PPPRA),’’ he said.
The minister also urged the DPR to raise enforcement to ensure complete compliance to the policy.
“If any filling station is found selling product above the price, we are going to seal it.
“But first, we are going to dispense the product for free and then we will seal the station and not open it for the period of three months.
“if any depot does same, the same thing will happen. We cannot afford to allow indiscipline in the system when people know what to do,’’ he said.
Kachikwu urged Nigerians to contact DPR through text messages to the designated numbers to help ensure full compliance.

Awful Things Husbands Should Stop Doing To Their Wives (Must Read)

Image
Whether we want to accept it or not, many women are victims of wicked men in bad marriages. These women are enduring bad behaviour, philandering, emotional abuse and even physical violence in the hands of men who should love and treat them like queens. It is sad and heartbreaking that when a woman cries out for help when she can no longer take the treatment she is being subjected to at home by the man she calls her husband, people tell her to zip it. People indirectly blame her for the maltreatment she’s getting from her husband. They send her back heartbroken to her bad marriage. Men tell her to stop complaining and pray for her husband to change. Women tell her to deal with it because they are going through horrible things at home too. Pastors tell them to go back home and submit more while church mummies tell them to be humble and virtuous so that their husbands can treat them better. I don’t know why a woman who is going through hell in her marriage will be advised to keep praying ...
