In a related development, the DPR on Tuesday began the enforcement of sales and distribution of petroleum products at filling stations, particularly in states where the Federal Government declared a two-week lockdown.
It was gathered that the oil sector regulator dispatched more enforcement teams to filling stations in Abuja, Lagos and Ogun states and the teams would enforce compliance during the two-week period.
In Abuja, the DPR Zonal Operations Controller, Abubakar Buba, and other enforcement team members monitored petrol stations in the Federal Capital Territory and its environs on Tuesday.
Two Conoil filling stations in the Central Business District and Kado Estate were visited by the team and the outlets dispensed products to commuters, who were primarily workers on essential duty.
Other filling stations within and around the FCT were also monitored. The DPR team expressed satisfaction with the level of compliance by the marketers.
