The House of Representatives has passed a resolution to invite the Minister of State for Petroleum Resources (Oil), HEINEKEN LOKPOBIRI; and his counterpart for the gas sector, EKPERIKPE EKPO; over the fuel scarcity being experienced in the country. 

The green chamber also summoned the Group Chief Executive Officer of the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL), MELE KYARI, over petrol shortages in the country.

This followed a motion of urgent national importance by a member of the House, UMAR AJILO, raising concerns over lingering queues at petrol stations nationwide.

The House expects the ministers and the NNPCL boss to explain the true reason for the scarcity and the measures put in place to bring it to an end. 

No date has been set for the engagement.
