Minister of State for Petroleum, Ibe Kachikwu, on Tuesday apologised to Nigerians for the lingering fuel scarcity.
Kachikwu, who spoke when he appeared before the Senate Committee on Petroleum Downstream, stated that efforts were being made to end the scarcity as quickly as possible.
He also said he never intended to ridicule Nigerians when he told State House correspondents last week that he had no magic wand to solve the nation’s fuel crisis.
He had been invited to explain efforts being made to solve the scarcity that has gripped the nation for weeks.
