President Goodluck Jonathan said in Abuja on Sunday that the Federal Government had no plans to increase pump price petroleum for now.
Jonathan, who gave this assurance at a Presidential Media Chat, noted that such action could not be taken without following due process and the consent of Nigerians.
“I have no plans now to change petroleum pump price, but if I have to do it, I will do it following due process’’, the President said.
He denied insinuations that his administration was not decisive enough to fight corruption in the country.
According to him, the federal government is doing everything possible to investigate and bring to book every corrupt public officer.
He assured Nigerians of improved electricity supply, adding that the present epileptic electricity supply in the country would soon be a thing of the past.
“We are not moving as fast as we are supposed to, but the steps we are taking will lead this country to a greater level.
“We will surely improve on it; I assure you it is not going to be worse than this. This government is committed and we are doing our best and we are seeing rays of hope’’, Jonathan said.
He added that the Federal Government was, however, looking on how to get loan to invest robustly in the energy sector.
