Minister of Petroleum Resources Diezani
Alison-Madueke says the federal government has no plan to increase the pump
price of petrol.
Alison-Madueke said this at the
2014 budget defence of the ministry and its parastatals before the
House of Representatives Committees on Petroleum Resources (Upstream and
Downstream) and Gas.
According to her, there is a strange rumour that the
Ministry of Petroleum Resources is going to announce an increase in the pump
price of petrol.
She noted that the development had
only helped to instigate hoarding and diversion of petroleum products, adding
that the ministry would flood the country with petroleum products next week.
She warned that any filling station
caught in the diversion of petrol, be it private or government-owned would be
sanctioned accordingly.
