He said:
I have had countless sleepless nights. I work round the clock to solve this problem because whatever touches you touches me. Over 30 per cent of fuel is diverted to Chad and Cameroon. But I continue to oversupply and you see some people making money out of the agony of Nigerians.
“What we met on the ground when we came was complete lack of transparency but we have worked to put everything in order. The loss of N300 billion by the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) has been reduced to N3billion, subsidy payment been reduced to near zero. We are focusing on business, not bleeding the government.”
As a way of solving the problem of truck diversion, the minister said the federal government was planning to make sure that only truckers who can install trackers on their trucks are allowed to convey petroleum products.
