My Sylva also speaks on the Petroleum Industry Bill and the gas expansion programme.

But, the midstream sector creates not only the vital linkages but also the jobs for our teeming unemployed population.

There is no better way of diversifying the country’s economy than through a well-developed oil and gas industry, particularly with the huge gas resources in Nigeria. The problem has been that gas utilization has been at its lowest level in Nigeria. Indeed, Nigeria has the lowest gas penetration in Africa, despite being one of the destinations in the world with the largest reserves of natural gas.

We are also considering the use of gas as automobile fuel, to provide alternative to the premium motor spirit , popularly called petrol, which has now been deregulated, thereby pushing its price almost beyond the reach of most consumers. We are now going to encourage Nigerians to convert their cars to use gas as a cheaper and more reliable fuel alternative.

PT: But, why is it so difficult for Nigerians to have the framework for computing fuel prices under the current deregulation policy?No, No! That framework is already published on the PPPRA website. But, there are some elements of the framework that are not constant. Like the feedstock, or the cost of the product, which is determined by the prevailing cost of crude oil at the international oil market. That cost of crude oil is never constant.

Remember, previous administration tried on several occasions to do it, but could not succeed. Each time they tried, it would end with Labour protest and the economy would be grounded. But, we have done it, and everyone has come to appreciate that it’s the way to go. That is why Labour is not protesting. We sat down with them and reasoned together that we cannot continue to spend trillions of Naira every year on fuel subsidy.

Like N170 per litre of petrol, unable to refine enough crude locally to provide some relief, focusing stubbornly on oil and refusing to face reality that oil is not the future. Still benchmarking our budget on oil, failed to clean up the Niger Delta

We kno u don't need to tell us, from 97 to 170 per litter of PMS Its geometrically tremendous mark

bogus hokus pokus yada yada

Honorable minister, how, where, when, serve your people not the government, cause it is service to the people not to the government.

Another foolish minister

Despite of the soaring price of fuel and still not able to fix just a refinery to be standard. Abi ori eyi people yi buru ni?

Ask him to explain thoroughly about this statement, he won't be able. It's very difficult to defend Buhari's administration no matter how hard you try.
