The FG in efforts to regulate these sellers gave an ultimatum to cooking gas marketers to clear out illegal and roadside dealers. According to the FG, this must be achieved within two months. Failure to clear them will result in a clampdown on activities of retail outlets in the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja. This ultimatum was given by the Department of Petroleum Resources (DPR) on Friday, February 7. Going further, the FG urged gas retailers to register before thinking of setting up business. Meanwhile, Legit.ng had reported that the federal government said it will inject 600,000 gas cylinders to support effort to boost Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG), also known as cooking gas, acceptance in the country.
