DPR goes digital on oil marketers license process

The Nigeria’s Department of Petroleum Resource (DPR) yesterday launched online license processing to checkmate illegal marketers responsible for diverting petroleum products and operating without genuine license.

At a seminar organised for interaction and education of all independent patroleum marketers on online license processing in Kaduna, the Department said transiting from analogue license processing to digital is necessary, in order for petroleum marketers to do their businesses with ease.

Speaking to reporters shortly after the event, the DPR Northwest Zonal Operations Controller, Alhaji Isa Tafida said with the introduction of online lincense processing, it will be easier for domestic investors to come in and do their business, and “whatever requirements is needed to be obtained for your organisation is there online.”

He said the online processing will prevent physical contact between DPR officers and oil businessmen, adding that, “you don’t need to come to me or anybody and start begging to process your license; you can do that by opening your computer in your room and filling the required documents.”
