The Coordinator of the agency, Dr Bashir Sirajo stated this during a monitoring exercise on Tuesday in Yola.
He said the agency directed fuel stations with product in stock to dispense it to motorists or face sanction, warning that the agency would not condone hoarding of petrol.
Sirajo said the agency had warned petrol marketers against sharp practices capable of causing scarcity of the product.
According to him, the agency will continue to monitor supply and distribution of petroleum products at the designated filling stations to facilitate smooth dispensing to consumers.
Meanwhile, the NMDPRA Coordinator met with members of the Independent Marketers Association (IPMAN), Major Marketers Association of Nigeria (MOMAN) and operators of the NNPC Retail stations in the state.
He charged them to abide by the regulations governing their operations and avoid sharp practices, warning that erring stations would be sanctioned.
Sirajo said that six additional trucks of the Premium Motor Spirit (PMS) had been distributed to the designated fuel servicing stations in the state.
He also directed pump attendants not dispensed above 25 liters of the product to Taxi drivers and power generators.
“Do not dispense fuel in kegs while genuine vehicle owners could get full tank. And those who got full tank should only be considered after four days.
“This is necessary to deal with some of taxi drivers who sale at black market outlets,” he said.
The measure,  he said, aimed at ensuring steady supply of the product, end queues, ensure prudence and accountability in fuel supply and distribution chain.
Also commenting, Malam Ahmed Hamman, a motorist, commended the agency for the exercise, adding that it guard against hoarding of petroleum products in the state.
