The Nigerian National Petroleum Company Ltd and the Nigerian Midstream and Downstream Petroleum Regulatory Authority (NMDPRA) have strengthened monitoring of petroleum products to curb diversion of the products to neighbouring countries by dishonest marketers.
The fresh measure was necessitated by the scarcity of fuel which has hit some major cities and resulted in exploitation of Nigerians by vendors who sell PMS for as high as N350 against the approved pump price of N192.
