Fuel Scarcity: Reps Summons Minister for questioning
The house of representatives has invited the minister of petroleum resources over the persistent petrol scarcity in the country.
President Bola Tinubu is the minister of petroleum resources while Heineken Lokpobiri serves as the minister of state for the ministry.
The green chamber did not specify if Lokpobiri or Tinubu is to appear before them.
However, it is improbable that the lawmakers would invite the president.
The 8th assembly similarly invited former President Muhammadu Buhari who had also retained the petroleum minister designation during his stint but he did not honour the invitation.
The lower legislative chamber passed its resolution during plenary on Tuesday, following the adoption of a motion sponsored by Shehu Ajilo from Kaduna state.
The minister is expected to brief the lawmakers on the persistent petrol scarcity across the country.
