The Minister of Petroleum Dr Ibe Kachikwu is to appear before the Senate today to answer questions on what sets he has taken to reduce or get ride of the petroleum scarcity in the country.
The Chairman, Senate Committee on Petroleum (Downstream) Jibrin Barau told reporters after an on-the-spot assessment of filling stations in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) that the invitation became necessary following the hardship Nigerians go through as a result of the scarcity.
“We have invited the Minister of State (for Petroleum Resources) to appear before the committee tomorrow (today) to tell us about the fuel scarcity and the strategy he is employing to solve it.
“`We will expect him to give a date when the problem will be resolved permanently. We are not satisfied because this problem has gone unabated for too long. The situation is appalling and it is a major problem. We gave the ministry enough time and space to put its act together to solve this problem.”
