GMD NNPC/Minister of State for Petroleum, Ibe Kachikwu has apologised to Nigerians over the statement he made of him not being a “magician”.
He made his apology while answering a
question on his plans to end the lingering fuel scarcity from the Senate
Committe Chairman on Petroleum (Downstream), Senator Jibril Barau today – Tuesday March 29.
He said, “I want to apologize to
Nigerians for the comment I made and to the Press for the way they
interpreted my comment. I share the pains of Nigerians, I feel the pain
everyday. We are pained by the lingering fuel scarcity and on behalf the
NNPC, I wish to apologize as well.”
He said that pipeline vandalism was the
major cause of fuel scarcity in the country. Another cause, according to
the Minister is the inability of oil marketers to raise letters of
credit from banks, hence cannot pump fuel.
He assured Nigerians that the NNPC is working round the clock to ensure that the incessant scarcity is abated.
