Osun State office of the Nigerian Midstream and Downstream Petroleum Regulatory Authority, on Wednesday, said it shut 75 filling stations operating without valid operational licences in the state.
NMDPRA State Coordinator, Mr Kunle Adeyemo made this known while speaking with newsmen in Osogbo.
According to him, “We sealed 75 filling stations operating without valid operational licences and for other infractions in the state in April. In line with the Federal Government directive, all petroleum marketers have till May 31 to get their valid licences.
He explained that discovery of filling stations in the state without valid operating licenses was discovered when his surveillance team visited 301 filling stations across the state.
Adeyemo further attributed another reason for shutting the filling to other infractions in the state in April.
