Buhari will reduce petrol to N40 per litre – David-West

A former Minister of Petroleum and Energy, Prof.
Tamunoemi David-West, has assured Nigerians
that the incoming president, Gen. Mohammed
Buhari, will reduce the fuel pump price to N40 per
litre from 87.

According to him, Nigeria produces millions of
barrels of crude oil daily, and if properly
harnessed, will boost the performance of the
industry.

Speaking with Vanguard, David-West said: "I want
to assure you that by the time he takes over,
petrol will be dispensed at N40 per litre. This is
possible and he has the credibility to make it
work.

He added that one of the major assignments of
the president-elect, when he is eventually
inaugurated, is to restore confidence to the
industry.

"As military a Head of State, he dealt with the
Federal Executive Council with the tenets of
democracy. Buhari will build new refineries to
make petroleum products available for the
masses. No responsible government will allow the
masses to suffer.
