The Federal Government has promised to put an end to the fuel shortages Nigerians are facing.
The Minister of State for Petroleum Resources, Chief Timipre Sylva, in a statement by his Senior Adviser, Media and Communications, Horatius Egua reassured Nigerians of government‘s determination called on security agencies to be on high alert in preventing attempts by subversive elements to cause any disruption during the period of the general elections in the country.
He warned of severe repercussions for any person or group who tries to take advantage of or bring even more hardship to common Nigerians by upsetting the supply and distribution of fuel.
This is coming on the heels of renewed efforts by the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Ltd. (NNPCL) to maintain the 450.92 million litres weekly evacuation of Premium Motor Spirit to different petrol stations nationwide.
“The problems associated with fuel queues in the country is not a problem that came with Buhari’s government but a fallout of long years of rot and decadence in products supply and distribution chain by successive governments.
“Buhari’s administration is addressing the problem holistically, this is the first time in so many years that a government is addressing the problems associated with fuel supply and distribution collectively,’’ he said.
