End The Fuel Scarcity Now, Senate Charges

The Senate has asked the Minister of State for Petroleum Resources, Dr. Ibe Kachikwu, to end the current scarcity of petrol before two weeks and save Nigerians the unnecessary stress.

“Nigerians want to see the immediate end of this fuel scarcity and also the uniformity of the price of the product across the country. As a committee, our target is that scarcity and discrepancies in price must stop, and it must be done. 

“Therefore, we are mandating the minister of state, the permanent secretary and other relevant agencies in the sector that fuel scarcity must stop in the next two weeks, and that petrol must be sold at the uniform price of N87 per litre everywhere in the country."
