President Muhammadu Buhari has expressed sincere regrets for the inconvenience caused to citizens of the country following a prolonged shortages of petroleum products and electricity supply.
In a statement by his media aide, Garba Shehu, in Abuja, the President believed that the issue of shortage of petroleum products was something that the administration had successfully averted in its seven years in office.
The President, who apologised to all citizens over the shortages of fuel and electricity across the country, assured that the challenges would soon be over.
The president frowned at the reported cases of sharp practices at the nation’s fuel depots and among owners of petrol stations across the country.
He, therefore, directed the Ministry of Petroleum Resources, the Nigerian Midstream and Downstream Petroleum Regulatory Authority, the NNPC and the entire security apparatus of the nation to take strong action against those responsible for such abnormalities.
