The Presidency has announced that the Federal Government is not contemplating on increasing the pump price of petroleum products, as the Christmas celebration approaches in the next 24 hours.
This disclosure was made known by the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, SGF, Boss Mustapha.
He said the fuel scarcity being experienced in the country over the last two weeks, was being addressed by the relevant Agencies of government, adding that the long queues would ease off soon.
The SGF attributed the scarcity to “greed” on the part of the Marketers, who created artificial shortfall to make profits.
Mustapha lamented the attitude of some Nigerians who derive pleasure from seeing others suffer, by inflicting pains on the people, adding that it was unfair and ungodly for Marketers to take advantage of the rush by the people to celebrate Christmas and New year.
“I can assure the people that a day or two after the yuletide, the queues will ease out. The Marketers created the scarcity, but we have engaged all the relevant stakeholders, and we are confident that it will soon normalise.
“We are not thinking about the increase in the pump price. We have not discussed it, and we will not increase the price”, he said, adding that panic buying was unwarranted, as there was much product available.
He commended the staff of NIWA for their cooperation and commitment to duty, while he headed the authority, saying that he would remain an ambassador of the authority, and was now in a better position to advance its cause.
He noted that his 15 months at the helm of affairs of the organisation, afforded him great opportunity to add value to his life, adding that it was NIWA that propped him up for the present assignment.
