The Senate Committee on Petroleum (Downstream), has directed

ten months as a result of vandalisation of petroleum pipeline in some parts of
the country.
Chairman of the committee, Senator Uche Ekwunife, who gave
the directive,Thursday, in Abuja,
during the committee’s meeting with top officials of Ministry of Petroleum Resources, insisted that the petroleum minister must not only end the scarcity but ensure that fuel was sold to the public at government’s controlled price of N87.00 per litre.
