I’m being regularly briefed, especially on the NNPC’s interventions to ensure that there is enough petrol available during this period and beyond” he said on his facebook posting.
“I have the NNPC’s assurance that the situation will improve significantly over the next few days, as new shipments and supplies are distributed across the country. “I have also directed the regulators to step up their surveillance and bring an end to hoarding and price inflation by marketers.
