“Energy is essential everywhere. It is on every nation’s security list, and God has given us the greatest gas that can endure for over 500 years. What we need now is to construct the market. The demand will be there. We need this house to help us build the market,” added Mr. Okoronkwo.
The IPMAN head added that everyone “is feeling the pinch,” adding that “everyone has taken the bullet.”
He said, “Palliatives are just for some time; the permanent solution is what we have brought to the nation, and we tag it as good news because, with little money, you can fill your tank and still do business.”
