The Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation, NNPC and all the agencies under the Ministry of Petroleum Resources have two weeks within which they must end petroleum products’ scarcity across the country.
According to an order issued by the Senate on Thursday, major sharp practices including discrepancies in prices of petroleum products, especially Premium Motor Spirit (PMS) and hoarding of products should be stopped immediately.
The Chairman, Senate Committee on Petroleum (Downstream), Senator Lilian Ekwunife, who issued the order on Thursday at a meeting with officials of the Ministry of Petroleum Resources and its parastatals in Abuja said that Nigerians were not interested in stories but in the availability of the products.
“We are therefore mandating the Minister, the Permanent Secretary and other relevant agencies to end fuel scarcity in the country in two weeks. Discrepancies in prices of products must also end,” she said.
