“Meanwhile they should import massively and distribute just was as the case of fuel so that they can be available at a cheaper rate, as it is now you large crowd is at the NNPC mega station because we don’t have”, he said.
Ofodile however, commended the efforts of the Federal Government at ensuring security in the country and urged it to extend same to the protection of the nation’s petroleum products pipelines.
