He said the agency, in the period under review, beamed searchlights on over 301 across the state and discovered many had committed several infractions.
He urged that stakeholders in the industry must operate within the ambit of regulation to avoid sanction.
“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.
“Any petroleum marketer who fails to adhere to the May 31 deadline for obtaining their valid operational licences would be severely sanctioned”, he stated.
