“We have extended our Direct Sales Direct Purchase (DSDP) contract by six months, to sustain supply of PMS through the country.
“The DSDP contract in reality ended in August and it is very dangerous period to begin to retender for that because we are facing the winter, these are the difficult “embers months’’ that we normally avoid fuel scarcity.
“You know the scarcity in Nigeria is really associated with Christmas period so if you now tender, the tendering process will take one or two months.

“So, what the board approved is to extend the contract for six month such that we have passed the winter and we have passed the election, otherwise we could have problems during election,’’ he said.
The chairman of the Committee, Rep. Ibrahim Al- Mustapha (APC-Sokoto) said that there was the need for an upward review of petrol price in Nigeria, in-line with the global price.
Al-Mustapha said that petrol was being sold for N536 per liter in Niger Republic, N577 per liter in Mali and N389 per liter in Benin Republic.

Ajia, however, said that petrol subsidised for Nigerians was being smuggled to neighbouring countries saying that figures of petrol consumed in the does not necessarily represent the true picture.

He said that as a result of the porous borders, subsidised petrol meant to be consumed by Nigerians go as far as Mali and other neighbourimg countries.
