FUEL CRISIS: FG INTERVENES, GIVES KACHIKWU ULTIMATUM

The Federal Government has given Ibe Kachikwu, Minister of State for Petroleum Resources, order to ensure that fuel queues at filling stations are eliminated before the week runs out.

Lai Mohammed, Minister for Information and Culture, said this while addressing State House correspondents after Wednesday’s Federal Executive Council (FEC) meeting.

He also said the government has no plans to increase the pump price of petrol.

“The council gave him (Kachikwu) a matching order that this fuel scarcity should not last beyond this weekend and they are going to work very hard to ensure that it is curtailed,” Mohammed said, adding that “the government has no intention at all to increase the pump price of PMS.”

He said that Kachikwu had briefed the council on the current fuel scarcity and assured the public that the country has “enough products till next one month or even till the end of January”.
