Ita Enang, President Buhari's senior special assistant on Niger Affairs said that the Nigerian Government is planning to reduce the price of fuel below N100 per liter.
The federal government says plans have been concluded to host a national conference on the integration of artisanal/modular petroleum refinery operations.
Enang said, “As the cost of crude goes higher, the cost of refined petroleum products goes higher but if we refine these petroleum products in Nigeria, the cost will be very low. And, the intendment of the conference is to mobilize these resources so that we can bring the prices of refined petroleum products down to below N100 per liter.”
Nigerians reacted to the statement positively, even praising Buhari as the best president ever.
The Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) had been saying this so long so the comments citizens passed were understandable.
Timipre Sylva, Nigeria's minister of state for petroleum resources, said the federal government is planning to begin oil exploration in the northeastern part of the country.
Sylva noted that he had earlier announced that crude oil had been discovered in the northeast, adding that drilling activities had already started in the Lake Chad Basin.
