Nigeria’s Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, on Monday, restated that the Federal Government had no plan to increase the pump price of petrol in 2018.
Osinbajo gave the assurance during his visit to fuel depots in Lagos where he monitored the loading of trucks to ensure a steady supply of petrol to designated filling stations.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that Osinbajo visited some major fuel depot terminals and stakeholders in Apapa and other parts of Lagos on Christmas Day.
According to the Vice President, the fuel scarcity facing the country is as a result of the shortage of supply to depots across the country.
“The President is very much concerned about Nigerians and how we can quickly end the fuel scarcity crisis in the country.
“The fuel crisis presently confronting the country is as a result of the shortage of supply of fuel to depots across the country.
“We hope that in the next couple of days, we would be able to end the fuel queues,” Osinbajo said.
No plans to hike fuel price, says Osinbajo
