The Federal Government has said that there are no plans to increase pump price of fuel now or in the near future and called on marketers to collaborate with it to eradicate the fuel queues from filling stations across the country.
The Minister of Petroleum Resources and Chairman of the Board of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation, Mrs. Diezani Alison-Madueke stated this on Tuesday after the Ministry’s budget appraisal for 2013 and budget defence for 2014 before the Senate and House of Representatives Joint Committees on Petroleum Upstream, Downstream and Gas in Abuja.
Mrs. Alison-Madueke informed that already the situation is coming under control and steps are being taken to flood the market with petrol in the next few weeks.
