The Minister of State for Petroleum, Ibe Kachikwu on Tuesday, March 29 said that he will not resign his position as minister as he still had a lot of work to do in the petroleum indstry.

The minister made this disclosure as his closing remarks while briefing the Senate Committee on Petroleum (Upstream) on the lingering scarcity of petroleum products.

“All those planning to come to Abuja for a protest should save their fuel, I am not going to resign, I have a lot of work to do,” he said.

The minister added that he did assume the position to be minister of petroleum in order to create scarcity.
He added that he would work hard to find lasting solutions to the problems in the industry.

He stressed that he was pained as much as many Nigerians were that the country still suffered petroleum scarcity in spite of being one of the largest producers of crude in Nigeria.

Different groups including the South South APC and some Civil Society Organiations have called for the minister’s resignation.

Meanwhile, President Muhammadu Buhari has urged the NNPC to ensure there is local sufficiency of petroleum products due to the lingering fuel scarcity across the country.

In a related development, the National Bureau of Statistics recently published the average prices of petrol in Nigeria.

According to the information released, the highest price is in Yobe state while the lowest is in Edo state.

If you don't want to resign, then, give us result.

He should get the job done and stop making silly comments about magic and fuel crisis ending in May. What Nigerians want his result and nothing else.

Why the minister of state Will resign when the main minister have not resigned

If he resign will thie.fnubu give him back his better paying job at ExxonMobil?

Will thie.fnubu give him back his better paying job at ExxonMobil if he resigns ?

Don't mind the zombies .. You ain't going nowhere .. Just like Saraki and Ekweremadu

Did Allison Dieziani resign during her romance as Min of Petroleum?

Nigerians don't like the truth. They prefer a propagandist like lie Mohammed. Kachukwu was only being truthful to himself and Nigerians when he said fuel Scarcity won't be gone completely till May. But Nigerians like propaganda, So the guy reverted back to saying things will be better Next week. And when they don't, he gives u another one week,...seems we all love LIE Mohammed's style

Toh shey he don teh una..

Plz don't resign else u'll b exposing baba's incompetence d more as regards petroleum matter despite he was once a padi padi minister there.

Buhari (the minister of petroleum) is the one who is supposed to resign.
He should just resign and take up the post of minister of Foreign affairs (since he's more interested in global tourism)

You have been tested but didn't pass Bro... Leave that seat

been long he's been expected to

Tribalism and hypocrisy

How come they want kachikwu & Emifele to resign, but nobody is saying anything about fashola?

Tinubu's plans to control the petroleum sector at all cost will fail. kachikwu will not resign.

Later some zombies will start spewing trash about how we from the SS & SE hate Apc. Rubbish!!!

Let Buhari Resign. His incompetent and clueless as an Oil Minister.

Why should he resign wen bubu dts supposed to have resigned since is busy junketting. They shuld leave the man alone. Buhari is Nigerias problem not kachikwu or emiefele

if you can't resign then assign us fuel na, Abi na by force

It's your boss that will resign.

And very soon too.

So relax, only that when your boss resigns, your view as as good as mind.

"All those planning to come to Abuja for protest should save there fuel, I'm not going to resign"


In other words: save your fuel for the sunny days ahead, the fuel scarcity palava is not gon end anytime soon,,

What is the Petroleum Minister (Buhari) actually doing about the fuel scarcity? He needs to resign his position before the State minister for petroleum.

Sack bufu
