The House of Representatives yesterday issued a one week ultimatum to the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited, (NNPCL) to end the lingering scarcity of petroleum products.
The House also called on the Nigerian Midstream Downstream Petroleum Regulatory Authority (NMDPRA) to seek the collaboration of the Nigerian Police Force and the Department of State Service (DSS) to ensure that fuel was sold at the regulated price and in all retail outlets.
The resolutions followed a motion titled “urgent need for the government to end the current fuel scarcity” moved by Hon. Saidu Musa Abdullahi from Niger State under matters of urgent public importance at the plenary.
