Urging all those planning to protest against him in Abuja, Nigeria’s capital to save their fuel,he said

“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,”

According to him, he did not accept to be minister of petroleum in order to create scarcity.

The minister assured that he would work hard to find lasting solutions to the problems in the industry.
