The Senate stated on Monday that it will intervene if the current fuel crisis persists beyond the NNPCL’s explanation.
According to the Senate, even though it suspended members’ recess sittings, relevant committees are carrying out their oversight functions.
It was noted that Nigerians are going through hardships and difficulties getting fuel at the filling stations at exorbitant prices.
Speaking with reporters on the fuel crisis in some major cities, the chairman of the Senate Committee on Media and Public Affairs, Yemi Adaramodu, said the Senate would resume plenary and do the needful.
“Our relevant committees in the oil sector told us that the refineries are about 70 percent finished. The NNPC has spoken on the issue of the long queues being experienced. It’s not a serious problem.
“But if it persists, we will intervene. Adaramodu added, “By the time we resume, we will take care of it.”
