Different groups including the South South APC, NANS and some Civil Society Organisations had called for the minister’s resignation following his remark that fuel queues could not be eliminated before May, and that he was not a magician.
Kachikwu stressed that he did not accept to be minister of petroleum in order to create scarcity. He, therefore, assured that he would work hard to find lasting solutions to the problems in the industry.
