The Department of Petroleum Resources (DPR), Wednesday, shut down many filling stations in Lagos, and Abuja, over various irregularities.
Mr Ayorinde Cardoso, Zonal Operations Controller, DPR, Lagos, confirmed the development after an inspection visit to eight filling stations located in Ikorodu Road, Oshodi-Apapa Expressway, and Ikeja areas of the state.
He said: “The stations sealed in Lagos were under dispensing and there are sanctions. They will have to, first of all, pay their sanctions and they will rectify their pumps to the acceptable standard.
“Then we will come back and re-evaluate the pumps before they can be allowed to reopen.”
