Fuel price increase is beyond Buhari’s control - Minister of state for petroleum resources, Timipre Sylva

 

The minister of state for petroleum resources, Timipre Sylva has disclosed that fuel price increase is beyond the control of President Buhari who is also the minister of petroleum resources.

 

The Minister who spoke to newsmen in Abuja on Thursday September 3, said it is unfortunate that citizens are blaming the federal government which is not in charge of fixing the prices of petroleum products, for the increased price. 

 

Sylva stated the focus of the authorities is to protect the interest of citizens. He said; 

 

“Government is no longer in the business of fixing prices for petroleum products, we have stepped back.

“Our focus now is on protecting the interest of the consumers and making sure that marketers are not profiteering.

“Left for him, he will never allow the increase in pump price; for this to happen, it means that it is an inevitable decision. COVID-19 took the price of crude oil to zero zone.”

 

Lamenting on the deceased crude production from two million barrels to 1.412 million barrels per day, Sylva alleged that the deregulation of the sector was politicised.

 

He said; 

 

“Deregulation will definitely come with few pains, but survival of the country is paramount."

Dre's estranged wife wants $2million a month in temporary spousal support amid the couple's multi-million-dollar divorce

 

Dr. Dre's estranged wife is seeking nearly $2 million per month in temporary spousal support in their divorce battle.

Nicole Young, 50, filed legal docs at a Los Angeles court for temporary spousal support in the amount of $1,936,399, and also wants the Beats by Dr. Dre mogul, 55, who has a net worth of around $800 million, to pay her $5 million in fees she's spent on their split, according to TMZ.

 

Insiders told TMZ that nothing has really changed for the pair since filing for divorce in July, as she still resides at the Malibu, California home they had shared and has access to all the cars, personal chefs, and other luxuries.

 

The sources said Dre is going to hit back at Nicole by telling the court that since her lifestyle hasn't changed, she doesn't need the nearly $2 million she's asking for a month.

 

Young, who is represented by attorney Samantha Spector, filed for divorce from Dr.Dre this summer after 24 years of marriage, and two children,  son Truice Young, 23, and daughter Truly Young, 19.
