FG Vows To Find Permanent Solutions To Fuel Scarcity, Warns  Subversive Elements
The Federal Government has warned of dire consequences for any individual or groups of individuals who attempt to exploit or further cause untold hardship to the ordinary Nigerians by disrupting  the fuel supply and distribution chain in the country.
According to a statement by Horatius Egua
Senior Adviser Media and Communications to the Minister of State Petroleum Resources, this warning is coming on the heels of renewed efforts by the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL) to maintain the 450. 92 million liters weekly evacuation of Petroleum Motor Spirit (PMS) to different petrol stations across the country.
The Minister of State Petroleum Resources Chief Timipre Sylva gave this warning while reassuring Nigerians of the Federal Government‘s determination to find permanent solutions to the problems of petroleum products supply and distribution chain in the country called on security agencies to be on high alert in preventing attempts by subversive elements to cause any disruption during the period of the general elections in the country.
He appealed to Nigerians for understanding noting that the President Muhammadu Buhari‘s government was sincere with finding permanent solutions to the fuel problems in the country.
The minister said the government was exploring all options in seeking an end to the fuel problem in the country and urged stakeholders in the oil and gas sector to join hands with government in ending the problem.
During a tour of selected petrol stations, in Abuja, on Friday Sylva had expressed Government’s satisfaction at the efforts of the NNPCL in ensuring fuel availability to the average Nigerian and urged them to keep up the tempo.
In the last one month, NNPCL has maintained a total weekly evacuation of 450.92 million liters, a daily average of 64.42 million liters.
Sylva while calling for a collective support in dealing with the fuel issue said the government feels the pains of the ordinary Nigerian occasioned by the lingering fuel queues stressing that the relevant government agencies were working round the clock to ensure fuel availability at petrol stations across the country.
The Minister noted however that the problems associated with fuel queues in the country is not a problem that came with the Buhari’s government but a fallout of the long years of rot and decadence in the fuel products supply and distribution chain by successive governments.
He said that the Buhari administration is addressing the fuel problem holistically stressing that this ‘is the first time in so many years that a government is addressing the problems associated with fuel supply and distribution collectively’.
And as part of the move to find lasting solution to the problem, the minister said the Federal Government recently set up a 14-Man Committee to get to the bottom of the problem with a view to avoiding future occurrences.
The Federal Government he said has also embarked on refineries rehabilitations neglected over the years with Port Harcourt Refinery at about 65% completion, Kaduna just awarded to Daewo of South Korea and Warri expected to follow soon.
He said the government  through the NNPCL acquired a 20% equity stake in the Dangote refinery, embarked on the licensing of modular refineries, concluded the marginal fields bid rounds as well as improvement of security along the major crude oil pipelines in the Niger Delta region in the last few months all geared towards increasing crude oil production to meet domestic consumption.
