The lower chamber of the National Assembly has accused the Nigerian National Petroleum Company (NNPC) Limited and other regulatory agencies of advancing excuses to justify the fuel scarcity in the country. The House subsequently gave the NNPCL one week to end the lingering fuel scarcity. The lawmakers also directed the Nigerian Midstream Downstream Petroleum Regulatory Commission to collaborate with the Nigeria Police Force and Department of State Services (DSS) to ensure that fuel is sold at the regulated price and at all retail outlets across the country.
