He explained that the agency will not relent in its efforts to ensure that the fuel scarcity being experienced recently has come to an end as the government has been doing a lot to ensure availability of the commodity across the nation.

“In December alone, our agency has sealed 120 erring filling stations in Kano and these erring stations risk losing their licenses or face some strict sanctions that will prevent future occurrences of such behaviours that contradicts the laid down provisions. As mandated upon us, the agency will continue to go out on its oversight routine as well as continue to seal any found erring filling station,” he said.
