By on January 17, 2014

The full implementation of the accurate metering policy in the oil and gas sector by the Weights and Measures Department of the Ministry of Industry, Trade and Investment will begin on February 1, the Federal Government has said.

The Director, Weights and Measures, Mr. Oluyinka Sikuade, said this during a technical meeting between officials of the ministry and the consultants handling the project.

A statement from the ministry on Wednesday quoted Sikuade as saying that the full implementation of legal metrology services in the oil and gas sector would enable stakeholders to conform with the weights and measure regulation.

He said, “We are going to look at the metering system of the operators for accuracy, equity, fairness and conformity. We will take into consideration internationally acceptable error margin for us to have fair and justice in trading devices used by the operators.”
