The Federal Government said on
Wednesday in Abuja that it would
ensure complete elimination of fuel
queues in the country in the next two
months.

The Minister of State, Petroleum
Resources, Mr Emmanuel Ibe
Kachikwu , gave the assurance while
fielding questions from State House
correspondents after a closed door
meeting with President Muhammadu
Buhari .

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN)
reports that Mr Igwe Achese, the
National President of the National
Union of Petroleum and Natural
Gas Workers (NUPENG) and his
Petroleum and Natural Gas Senior
Staff Association of Nigeria
(PENGASSAN) counterpart,
Comrade Olabode Johnson,
attended the meeting.

“I think if we do that although I
don’t want to put a time frame but I
will expect that over the next two
months. Of course, you are aware
the SAP programme begins in April
so over the next two months we
should see quite frankly a complete
elimination of this,’’ Kachikwu said.
