Ibe Kachikwu Orders Special Fuel Supply For Christmas
The Minister of State for
Petroleum, Dr Ibe Kachikwu, who is spending time with his constituency in Delta
State, has given assurances that from 2016, the country’s oil sector will
experience a turn around that will allow the refineries work effectively and
then petroleum products will be available to Nigerians at affordable prices.
He said that as a technocrat he
would give his best with the opportunity given to him to serve as the Minister
of State for Petroleum.
On the current petroleum scarcity,
the Minister attributed the situation to panic buying and hoarding, warning all
those concerned to demonstrate patriotism.
Meanwhile, Dr Kachikwu has ordered
what he called a special petrol supply intervention to ensure a hitch free
Christmas and New Year celebration.
This order was given to the
Pipeline Products Marketing Company (PPMC) for them to embark on special supply
intervention measures to ensure country-wide availability of product ahead of
the yuletide and beyond.
The NNPC says that daily fuel
trucks which leaves depots to Abuja, Kaduna, Enugu, Kano, Ibadan and Jos has
increased significantly.
