PRESS RELEASE 
 
It has come to the attention of the Nigerian Midstream and 
Downstream Petroleum Regulatory Authority (NMDPRA) that some 
retail outlets are not accepting the use of Point of Sale (POS) 
machines at their filling stations due to the recent cash crunch 
brought about by the new Naira design. 
The Authority frowns at this recent behaviour which is causing untold 
hardship for Nigerians at a time when all hands should be on deck to 
assist the Government in the transition to the new Naira. 
All retail outlets are directed 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.  
The Authority and security agencies will be at retail outlets to ensure 
compliance with this directive and any filling station found violating 
this directive will be duly sanctioned.  
We reassure the general public of our commitment to ensuring good 
quality service in the sale and distribution of petroleum products 
nationwide.
