The House of Representatives Committee on Petroleum Resources (Downstream and Midstream) has called on security agencies to pick up hoarders of Premium Motor Spirit, also known as petrol, as the scarcity of the products continues to challenge Nigerians nationwide.|
This is as the committee assured Nigerians that its findings reveal the availability of petrol, stressing that the logistical challenges that have made the product scarce are being addressed.
Addressing a press conference at the National Assembly Complex, Abuja, today, the co-chair of the committee and Chairman, House Committee on Petroleum Resources (Downstream), Ikenga Ugochinyere, said although there was enough petrol to service the country for about 30 days, the supply and distribution to marketers was disrupted by challenges of transport vessels that were supposed to take the products from offshore to onshore.
The Committees assured Nigerians that the challenges would be overcome in a few days.
He called on Nigerians to be patient, noting that in about two or three days, the fuel queues will disappear.
Co-chair of the Committee and Chairman, Committee on Petroleum (Midstream), Henry Okojie, also called on Nigerians to be patient, saying the fuel crisis would be addressed within the week.
