The Federal Ministry of Trade and Investment has shut down
eight petrol stations in Enugu State for allegedly ripping off customers.
Deputy Director in the Weights and Measures Department unit
of the ministry, Ibrahim Isah, said the petrol stations were using inaccurate
pump metering and under-dispensing of petroleum products.
In addition, one of those sealed was also sanctioned for
defaulting in payment of a regulatory fee to the government.
He said the exercise was part of the department’s bi-annual
operation nationwide.
He said the department was to ensure no unscrupulous
businessman or woman took advantage of unsuspecting members of the public to
sell below volume or quantity and quality.
