The House of Representatives is calling for a forensic audit of the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL) aimed at unravelling the discrepancies in the importation and supply of Premium Motor Spirit (petrol) commencing from 2015 to date.
The House reached the resolution after considering the report of its Ad Hoc Committee on Fuel Consumption.
Meanwhile, the committee observed that there was no record indicating that a certain volume of PMS was discharged to a particular retail outlet/fueling station or dispensed, hence the difficulty in ascertaining the actual daily consumption of PMS across the country.
The House is charging the Nigerian Midstream Downstream Petroleum Regulatory Authority to monitor trucks conveying PMS within locations and compel a daily data report on the dispense of the product at all retail outlets/fueling stations.
