He maintained that all over the world oil and gas sector are being business of the private sector to achieve optimal results but it’s been regulated by the government in order to curb anticipated lapses
Ahmed Emimoru further lamented over the persistent fuel pump price increase that had led to more hardship on the citizens, called on the federal government to put in place measures especially as it affects transportation to alleviate the plight of Nigeria citizens
The oil and gas sector expert stressed that Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) also known as cooking gas and Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) should be prioritized to reduce the higher demand for petroleum products to achieve balance.
