Buhari Sets 14-Man Committee to Tackle Fuel Scarcity

On Tuesday, President Muhammadu Buhari took a significant step towards addressing the ongoing fuel crisis in the country by giving his approval for the establishment of a new committee. The fuel crisis has been a major issue for the citizens of Nigeria, with petrol prices reaching as high as N400 per liter in some places. This has led to longer queues at gas stations, causing inconvenience and distress for many people.

The new committee, which will be chaired by President Buhari himself, has been created with the primary goal of ensuring a transparent and efficient supply and distribution of petroleum products across the country. This is a crucial step towards addressing the fuel crisis and ensuring that the citizens of Nigeria have access to the resources they need.

The committee will be headed by President Buhari, and will have the Minister of State for Petroleum Resources, Chief Timipre Sylva, as Alternate Chairman. Chief Timipre Sylva is a highly experienced and respected figure in the oil and gas industry, and his presence in the committee will bring valuable expertise and knowledge to the table.

Adviser to the Minister (Media and Communications), Horatius Egua, stated that the committee will take a comprehensive approach towards addressing the fuel crisis. This will involve reviewing the current supply chain and distribution systems, identifying bottlenecks and inefficiencies, and implementing new measures to ensure a smooth and steady flow of fuel across the country.

The committee will also focus on transparency and accountability, with an emphasis on ensuring that the citizens of Nigeria have access to accurate and reliable information about the availability and pricing of fuel.

This will help to build trust and confidence in the system and will ensure that the citizens of Nigeria have access to the resources they need.

The fuel crisis has had a major impact on the economy of Nigeria, and it is crucial that steps are taken to address it as soon as possible.

The new committee, with President Buhari and Chief Timipre Sylva at the helm, is a positive step towards resolving this crisis and ensuring that the citizens of Nigeria have access to the resources they need to thrive.
