The Concerned Northern Forum has backed the call for thorough investigation ordered by President Muhammadu Buhari, and urging security agencies to conclude the probe in good time and sanction all those responsible.
This was contained in a statement signed by Mallam Ibrahim Bature and Comrade Abdulsalam Moh’d Kazeem, Chairman and Spokesperson of the Forum respectively.
The statement stated that regulatory and Security agencies should ensure that fuel stations sell at the maximum installed capacity, and in the event any station is found to be sabotaging the government’s effort, the product be dispensed free to motorists and such station sealed.
The statement also commended the Management of the NNPC Ltd for taking prompt action by alerting the Nation on the bad fuel and for taking measures to recall the bad product and injecting over 700 million litres and the promise of additional 2.1 billion litres to address the shortfall.
“We withdraw our notice for the sack of the NNPC Management and nationwide protest, but remain committed to the sanctioning of the importing companies and their officials.
“Finally, we sincerely appreciate the intervention of the Department of State Security Service, the Police and our respected Grand Patron. Together for a better Nigeria.” The statement reads
