The Federal Government has denied reintroducing the subsidy on Premium Motor Spirit, popularly called petrol, amid the closure of many filling stations nationwide due to various challenges in the downstream oil sector.

The Group Chief Executive Officer, NNPCL, MELE KYARI, told State House Correspondents after an audience with the President at the Aso Rock Villa that fuel subsidy had not been returned.

KYARI also said the pockets of queues observed by motorists in petrol stations across the country stemmed from delays in product distribution from the South to the North, not a lack of supply.
