Chairman Ikenga Ugochinyere said, after an emergency Abuja meeting on Monday, that rising tensions could undermine the fragile stability recently achieved.
He said the committee must act swiftly as efforts continue to stabilise supply, pricing, and regulation in Nigeria’s post-subsidy petroleum era.
“The key issue is the renewed tension arising from concerns and allegations raised by Alhaji Aliko Dangote against the NMDPRA.
“We are guarding hard-won stability; sustainable solutions require identifying critical issues; hence our invitation to Dangote and the NMDPRA leadership,” he said.

He added that petitions received cover import licence issuance and whether domestic refineries can meet Nigeria’s daily petroleum demand.
Ugochinyere said all outstanding matters would be examined when refining and regulatory stakeholders appear before the committee. (NAN)
