Dr Abel Kachiku, one of the ministerial nominees, has vowed that his priority is to make sure fuel queues disappear from Nigerian filling stations forever. He said this when he took his stand at the ministerial screening today at the Senate.
He told the lawmakers that all Nigerian refineries (Warri, Port Harcourt and Kaduna) are operating at 25 per cent capacity. He said government is bent on fixing the refineries to make them work at full capacity.
On kerosene, he told the Senators that for now, only the NNPC is the only body importing the product. However, to reduce dependence on the product, he told the lawmakers that government will make sure that every home uses for which gas cylinders would be made available to every home in Nigeria.
