Burahi to be summoned to explain fuel scarcity

Senator Emmanuel Paulker has said that Nigeria’s Petroleum
Minister should be summoned before the Senate to explain
why there is currently a scarcity of fuel in the country.
Paulker made the comment today, November 24, 2015, during
the plenary session of the upper legislative chamber.
President Muhammadu Buhari is currently the petroleum
minister as he appointed himself into the position on
November 11 while swearing in his cabinet.
Buhari had earlier explained that he would head the ministry
for a while to clean up the damage done by years of
corruption.
He is being assisted by Minister of State, Ibe Kachikwu, who
is also the Group Managing Director of the Nigerian National
Petroleum Corporation (NNPC).
Paulker’s position was tacitly supported by Senator
Enyinnaya Abaribe who said “change has come but there is
no change” referring to the campaign slogan of Buhari’s
party, All Progressives Congress (APC).
Buhari and Kachikwu are currently in Iran to attend the third
3rd Gas Exporting Countries Forum (GECF).
