Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) has assured citizens of adequate petrol supply next week.<\/p>\n

The agency gave the assurance at the National Economic Council (NEC) meeting at the State House on Thursday.<\/p>\n

At the meeting chaired by Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, NEC resolved to encourage the growth of the automotive industry in Nigeria by improving patronage of locally manufactured vehicles.<\/p>\n

In attendance were Governors, Ministers, Central Bank (CBN) Governor and some heads of federal agencies.<\/p>\n

Minister of Industry, Trade and Investment, Niyi Adebayo, said despite the potentials, the local automotive industry has been significantly plagued by several challenges.<\/p>\n

He listed weak demand for locally assembled cars and lack of government patronage which could have assisted the assemblers in achieving economies of scale.<\/p>\n

FEC also received an update on the COVID-19 vaccination by the Executive Director, National Primary Health Care Development Agency (NPHCDA), Dr. Faisal Shuaib.<\/p>\n

Shuaib reminded the council that by March next month, the country needs to reach 50 per cent of eligible vaccination at least for the first dose.<\/p>\n

The NPHCDA chief added that the plan is to achieve 70 per cent full vaccination rate by December<\/p>\n

The EC added that the FCT, Nasarawa, Jigawa, Ogun, Osun and Kwara States are hitting the mark.<\/p>\n
