Nigeria’s petroleum regulator, the NMDPRA, reports uncovering fuel under-dispensing at filling stations across the country. It orders immediate checks, including the calibration and verification of fuel dispensers and totalisers, and asks outlets to take corrective action.
The outlets describe the regulator as acting to protect consumers from short-measuring. One report also says the NMDPRA warns that persistent violations could result in enforcement measures, including the revocation of petrol station licences. Another outlet frames the development primarily as an inspection and compliance directive, emphasizing the need for nationwide dispenser calibration.
