The NMDPRA’s efforts to curb such malpractices are commendable, and the public is urged to report similar instances to ensure fairness and accountability in the petroleum sector.

As Nigerians continue to face fuel shortages, it’s essential to prioritize transparency and integrity in the industry. The authorities must take stern action against those perpetuating such fraud, ensuring justice and maintaining public trust.
