Fuel stations that modify their gasoline pumps risk being penalized, according to the Nigerian Midstream and Downstream Petroleum Regulatory Authority (NMDPRA).
This was said by Farouk Ahmed, the chief executive of the NMDPRA, on Friday in Abuja during a discussion with commissioners of the Revenue Mobilisation Allocation and Fiscal Commission (RMAFC).
According to Ahmed, gas stations that are found supplying fuel using modified fuel pumps would face severe penalties, such as operating license revocation, suspension from operation, or closure, depending on the seriousness of the offense.
He claims that the Federal Government and oil regulatory agencies are very concerned about filling station operators adjusting the fuel pumps.
According to the head of NMDPRA, the organization will keep working with RMAFC to increase revenue for the federation.
