DPR vows to curb fuel diversion to Benin, Chad, Niger

The Department of Petroleum Resources, Kaduna Zonal Office, says it has taken adequate measures to tackle fuel diversion to the Republic of Benin, Chad and Niger.

The DPR Zonal Operations Controller, Isa Tafida, stated this at a press conference in Kaduna recently. The DPR official noted that the department would not tolerate any marketer out to sabotage its efforts by way of diverting petrol to neighbouring countries.

He added that any unscrupulous marketer caught diverting petroleum products to neighbouring African countries such as Chad, Niger and Republic of Benin, would be severely sanctioned.
