Worried
about the prolonged fuel scarcity in all parts of the Nigeria, President
Muhammadu Buhari has, for the first time, summoned stakeholders in the
sub-sector of the economy to a major engagement in Aso Rock tomorrow (Monday).
Investigation by Sunday Vanguard over the weekend, showed that the parties invited included Dr. Ibe Kachikwu, Minister of State for Petroleum Resources; Mr. Maikanti Baru, Group Managing Director, Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation, NNPC; Mr. Mordecai Ladan, Director, Department of Petroleum Resources; Mr. Femi Olawore, Executive Secretary, Major Marketers Association of Nigeria, MOMAN; Mr. Mike Osatuyi, National Operation Controller, Independent Marketers Association of Nigeria, IPMAN; and Mr Olufemi Adewole, Executive Secretary, Depot and Petroleum Products Marketers Association, DAPPMA.
Reliable sources privy to the invitation made Sunday Vanguard to understand that the crucial engagement is targeted at finding lasting solutions to the crisis that has already impacted very negatively on the nation’s post recession economy. Specifically, it was gathered that the meeting, to be presided over by Buhari, who doubles as the nation’s Petroleum Minister, will review all the issues involved in the scarcity, embrace the inputs of stakeholders and adopt measures that could assist to end it. Informed sources disclosed that the meeting will also seek to end the blame game, as well as forge closer cooperation among stakeholders, especially NNPC and oil marketers. It would be recalled that members of DAPPMA had earlier identified inadequate supply as a major cause of the scarcity, explaining that their filling stations were not supplied with fuel.
