[Shola Sholaz]

A group in the Niger Delta, Leadership, Peace and Cultural Development Initiative has threatened to mobilise other civil liberty organizations to stage a peaceful protest to the National Assembly in Abuja over what it described as the scarcity of kerosene in the country and the attendant hardship to the people.
.
The protest which is slated for Tuesday next week is to bring to the notice of the upper chamber the suffering of the masses over the scarcity of the product in the market.
.
The group is also calling for the removal of the Pipeline and Products Marketing Company (PPMC) boss over his alleged failure to effectively tackle the issue of kerosene scarcity in the country.
.
"It is therefore, a matter of national urgency for the kerosene scarcity to be diametrically addressed to enable the masses enjoy the on-going National Transformation."
