The Nigerian Midstream and Downstream Petroleum Regulatory Authority (NMDPRA) has initiated a crackdown on illegal LPG retail outlets in Akwa Ibom State. State Coordinator Ikechukwu Eseka announced the move during a courtesy visit from the Nigeria Security and Civil Defense Corps (NSCDC) State Commandant Bakshar Hussaini on Thursday.
Eseka revealed that the enforcement focuses on illegal LPG decanting, filling stations, and refilling plants, emphasizing the dangers of using gas improperly, as some operators are using gas not intended for specific purposes. He warned that individuals and businesses without NMDPRA licenses are prohibited from handling gas and called for the registration and renewal of LPG licenses.
Additionally, he highlighted ongoing efforts to regulate the use of storage tanks exceeding 500 liters, urging relevant individuals and organizations to register with the NMDPRA. Eseka also mentioned the Authority's enforcement actions against unregistered filling stations and those using diesel for industrial purposes.
NSCDC Commandant Hussaini expressed support for the initiative, stressing the need for a balanced approach to handling offenders without harming the public or the government. He also raised concerns about the environmental risks posed by unregulated domestic cooking gas sales.
