ABUJA – THE Senate Committee on Petroleum (Downstream), has directed
the Minister of Petroleum Resources,President Muhammadu Buhari, to end
the ongoing fuel scarcity in the country within two weeks from now.
This came on the heels of disclosure by the Pipeline Products
Marketing Company, PPMC, that Nigeria lost a whopping N50 billion in ten
months as a result of vandalisation of petroleum pipeline in some parts
of the country.
Chairman of the committee, Senator Uche Ekwunife, who gave the
directive,Thursday, in Abuja, during the committee’s meeting with top
officials of Ministry of Petroleum Resources, insisted that the
petroleum minister must not only end the scarcity but ensure that fuel
was sold to the public at government’s controlled price of N87.00 per
litre.
Senator Ekwunife,representing Anambra South, on the platform of the
opposition Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, frowned at the ongoing fuel
crisis,saying Nigerians were suffering untold hardship following the
development.
Fuming over what she described as unnecessary fuel crisis, Ekwunife,
said:”We are mandating the Minister of Petroleum Resources,the Permanent
Secretary and heads of agencies to stop this fuel scarcity in two
weeks.
“We are giving a target now,we don’t wan’t to know how you would achieve it.Nigerians want to see an end to this fuel scarcity.
