Minister of State for Petroleum
Resources Dr. Emmanuel Ibe Kachikwu, yesterday said fuel queue will be over in
Abuja and Lagos this week. He stipulated that queues in Kano, Katsina, Sokoto
and Port Harcourt and other states will dissipate subsequently. The minister
also hinted of a price adjustment next month.
He told officials of the
Petroleum Products Pricing Regulatory Agency (PPPRA) in Abuja that the ministry
will take the right decisions however hard they might be. He added that the government
will prevent the return of the subsidy regime.
He said: “Today, we have the
fuel queues and it is completely a nightmare for me. The reality is that I am
hurt, I am very emotional about my job. And there isn’t still much. We just
need to take the right policies as hard as they are and as difficult as they
are to ensure we do not return to the policy of subsidy.’’
