PPDMS - Filling Station Automation Module
Register, inspect, classify and certify every filling station in Anambra on one platform.
PPDMS is the Ministry of Petroleum and Mineral Resources' platform for registering and certifying filling stations. Station operators sign up with their company ASIN, submit station details, GPS location, storage and pump data and documents, and pay once the application is approved. Ministry inspectors visit with a digital checklist, compare what they find with what was declared, and the system classifies each station by size to set its fee.
What it does
All 11 features
- Company sign-up that validates the company ASIN and retrieves registered company details
- Multi-step filling station application: company details, owner details (ASIN, TCC), station details with GPS coordinates and year established
- Operational data: storage capacity, number of tanks, number of dispensing pumps, operating hours, operational status and product types
- Document upload (up to 5MB per file): certificate of incorporation (CAC), environmental impact assessment, existing operational permit, NMDPRA registration and HSE document
- Formal declaration before submission
- Automatic station classification using a '2-out-of-3' rule on pumps, tanks and product types, with registration and renewal fees per category
- Field inspection with a digital checklist: observed tanks and pumps, tank and pump condition, product availability, safety compliance, violations and photo capture
- Inspectors can recommend reclassification when inspected data differs from the application
- Invoice on approval, online payment, payment receipt and certificate download
- Operator dashboard: total applications, pending review, awaiting payment, approved certificates
- Admin revenue overview, reports with PDF and Excel export, and optional two-factor authentication

In practice
What it looks like
A petrol station company registers a new station in Ekwulobia, enters its four pumps and two tanks, uploads its NMDPRA registration and waits for inspection.
An inspector on site finds more pumps than declared and recommends the station be reclassified.
An operator downloads the station certificate after paying the invoice online.
Why it matters
What changes
- A single digital register of filling stations
- Fees follow published classification rules instead of case-by-case assessment
- Inspections are recorded with photos and checklists
- Operators can track applications and download certificates themselves
