Less than 24 hours after President Muhammadu Buhari
declared that his Vice is now in charge of the country as he
departed for a two-week medical vacation to London, the
Vice President, Professor Yemi Osinbajo has summoned the
NNPC Group Managing Director to the Presidential Villa as the
fuel scarcity in the country lingers.
Aso Rock Correspondents and other Villa sources confirmed
to Quest
That Mr Mele Kyari, the GMD of the NNPC andsome other executives of the company were seen this
afternoon coming into the Villa and leaving soon after.
It was disclosed that in what was a short meeting, the Vice
President asked for an update on how the NNPC intended to
quickly resolve the lingering fuel scarcity. “The NNPC boss
gave an impressive report and plan to the VP was and was
seen leaving the Villa walking briskly as if he has been given a
firm order,” said a reliable source.
Sources added that a sense of urgency to resolve the fuel
scarcity was stressed by the Vice President at the meeting, a
queue the NNPC executives also took. “Judging from the look
of things the scarcity would be over very soon, ” said another
source close close to the NNPC executives.
The fuel scarcity started weeks ago when it was discovered
that an adulterated fuel was supplied to the country and its
withdrawal created a huge supply gap which has caused the
lingering fuel scarcity.
