The House of Representatives has summoned the Minister of Petroleum Resources over the lingering fuel scarcity across the country.

President Bola Tinubu is the minister of petroleum resources while Heineken Lokpobiri is the minister of state for petroleum resources (oil).

The lawmakers did not indicate who they are inviting though it is unlikely they would invite the president.

The resolution to summon the minister was a sequel to a motion of urgent public importance moved by Shehu Ajilo on Tuesday after the resumption of the House from a 40-day break.

The minister is to brief the lawmakers on the lingering fuel scarcity in the country.

ASIWAJU MEDIA reported the impact of fuel scarcity on motorists across the country. In some states, motorists pay as much as N1,000 per litre for petrol. An NNPCL official, however, said on Tuesday that the scarcity would end this week.
