Tinubu planning to distribute cheap fuel — Mele Kyari

Mele Kyari, the Group Managing Director of the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL), disclosed on Wednesday that President Bola Tinubu has started putting in place structural plans to distribute cheap fuel through compressed natural gas (CNG) and liquefied natural gas (LPG). The president plans to use this to reduce the impact of the removal of subsidies on Nigerians.

He added that the nation’s refineries were undergoing intense rehabilitation and would soon be completed.
