The Department of Petroleum Resources has assured consumers across the country that there won’t be queues caused by scarcity of petroleum products in filling stations at the festive period.

She said any station found hoarding products to create artificial scarcity and jack up pump prices would be dealt with in accordance with the law. Noting that 50 retail outlets had been abandoned in the state, she said the Yenagoa Field Office topped the list in Health, Safety and Environment as no accidents and fire disasters involving filling stations and tankers occurred in Bayelsa.

“When we go for surveillance we check whether they are operating or not operating. If they are operating we check their pumps because the common complaint is under-dispensing. Occasionally we see cases of over-dispensing. If the pumps are under-dispensing, we seal their stations.“We stepped up our surveillance aggressively this year. We have put all the marketers on their toes because they know there is no hiding place. We dip their tanks to know their level of products.
