National Association of Nigerian
Students, NANS, Zone B, has told President Muhammadu Buhari to disengage
himself from the Ministry of Petroleum Resources as Minister.
This is contained in a statement
by zonal coordinator, Comrade Pedro Obi.

NANS noted that “Buhari’s pseudo
heading of the Petroleum Ministry has presented an uncertainty in the petroleum
industry, and we therefore call for a substantive Petroleum Minister.”
“Nigerians have been made to pass
through untold hardship for a fault of not theirs, with conflicting and counter
directives emanating from the top hierarchy of the petroleum industry.
“Blaming filling
stations/petroleum marketers is way being ignorant of realities, as our team of
petroleum monitoring task force, has found out that Premium Motor Spirit, PMS,
is being sold at high rate in depot and you can never expect somebody to sell
less than his/her cost price.
“Department of Petroleum
Resources, DPR sealing of filling stations is sheer hypocrisy, as to us, if
they are serious about controlling the price of the product, they should go to
the petroleum depots where these private filling station owners lift product.
“Nigerians have been deceived,
stolen dry and the various promises of reform in the industry have turned into
a mirage as a result of nepotism occasioned by an incompetent manning of the
industry.
“The Minister of State for
Petroleum Petroleum Resources, Dr. Ibe Kachikwu, has not been given free hand
to carry out his laudable plans for the sector. It is on this note, we call for
the upgrade of Dr. Ibe Kachikwu as the substantive Minister of Petroleum
Resources.
“At this point of our nationhood,
if truly Buhari means well for the suffering Nigerian masses, this is surely
the irreducible minimum demand, President Buhari can give to Nigerians, if he
actually means well for us.”
Meanwhile, Senate has appealed to
Nigerians over the fuel scarcity and reiterated that it would convene an
emergency public hearing on January 4, 2018.
