NewsOnline reports that the Federal Government has ordered filling station operators of filling stations across the country to start accepting the use of Point of Sales (POS) machines and bank transfers for the purchase of petroleum products, threatening to sanction them for non-compliance.
This is as the government has commenced the deployment of security agencies to filling stations across the country to enforce the use of these POS machines and bank transfers at their various outlets.
This was made known on Thursday in a statement issued by General Manager, Corporate Communications and Stakeholders Management, Nigerian Midstream and Downstream Petroleum Regulatory Authority (NMDPRA), Kimchi Apollo, in Abuja, directing all retail outlets to ensure the free use of POS and bank transfer for the sale of petroleum products to alleviate the suffering of customers at this critical time.
NMDPRA in a statement said that the move became necessary following reports that some filling stations were rejecting POS machines and bank transfers from customers despite the severe cash crunch currently nationwide.
The NMDPRA said it would work with law enforcement agencies to enforce the use of POS machines and acceptance of cash transfers at retail outlets, stressing that oil marketers who flout the directive would be dealt with.
