The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) Chairman, Mahmood Yakubu has expressed concern over the current fuel scarcity in the country.
The INEC boss lamented that the logistics arrangement for the general elections scheduled to hold on February 25 and March 11 might be affected by the situation.
He said; “The commission shares your concern about the fuel situation in the country and its impact on transportation on election day.”
“The truth is that our arrangement may be negatively affected by the non-availability of products.”
“For this reason, the commission will this afternoon meet the Nigerian National Petroleum Company (NNPC) Limited to look into ways to ameliorate this situation.”
Yakubu stated this on Tuesday January 31, 2023 at a consultative meeting with the Nigerian Association of Road Transport Owners (NARTO), the National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW), amongst others.
