Organized labour has hailed the President of the Senate, Dr. Abubakar Bukola Saraki for directing the Senate Committee on Petroleum Resources (Downstream) to cut short its recess and immediately convene industry stakeholders meeting in a bid to end the ongoing fuel crisis which has imposed hardship on the citizens.
NEC member of Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC), Comrade Issa Aremu observed in Kaduna that the protracted fuel crisis was a reflection of “crisis of corporate governance in the petroleum sector”.
According to the labour leader, the bane of down stream sector was “abysmal absence of accountability, transparency and openness in the administration of the petroleum resources of Nigeria, adding that only the parliament can make a difference in “exposing the rot” in the sector.”
