House Investigates Fuel Consumption in Nigeria, State of Refineries<\/strong><\/p>\n

The House of Representatives has commenced an investigation to determine how much fuel is consumed in the country daily.<\/p>\n

The House is also investigating the state of the country\u2019s four refineries in a bid to make recommendations on how to \u201cbring them back to life.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Speaker of the House, Rep. Femi Gbajabiamila<\/a>, set up two adhoc committee\u2019s during Wednesday\u2019s plenary in Abuja to conduct the separate investigations.<\/p>\n

He noted that figures on fuel consumption in the country were conflicting and difficult to bet on their accuracy.<\/p>\n

Gbajabiamila said before the House would address the issue of subsidies on petrol, it would first determine the daily fuel consumption figures.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have had figures bandied here and there without any authenticity.<\/p>\n

\u201cBefore we can even begin to talk about subsidy, we need to know how much fuel we are consuming as a nation\u201d, he told his colleagues.<\/p>\n

On the refineries, the Speaker named a second committee to \u201cto know the state of disrepair or repair and determine what will be needed to bring the refineries back to life again.\u201d<\/p>\n

The committee to investigate the level of fuel consumption is chaired by Rep. Abdullahi Ningi and has 14 other members. It has four weeks to turn in a report.<\/p>\n

Gbajabiamila directed the committee not to restrict its source of information to the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation alone, but should reach out to other sources, including \u201cinternational experts\u201d, organised labour, transport unions, \u201cevery organisation<\/a> that deals with facts\/ documents\u201d and motor licensing offices across the Federation.<\/p>\n

The committee investigating the state of refineries has Rep. Ganiyu Johnson and has 14 other members.<\/p>\n
