The Nigeria Midstream and Downstream Petroleum Regulatory Authority (NMDPRA), has embarked on stock monitoring exercise within depots in Calabar, capital of Cross River State, to ensure the availability of petroleum products.
Mr George Ene-Ita, Regional Coordinator of NMDPRA, South-South Regional Office, Calabar, led members of staff of the Authority on the exercise on Tuesday in Calabar.
Ene-Ita said that the stock taking was to ensure availability and effective distribution of petroleum products within the South-South region and beyond.
“The essence of this exercise is to ensure that the whole of Calabar and its environs are wet with petroleum products to avoid scarcity and panic buying by commuters during this period.
