As part of programme scheduled for the "World Day for Cultural Diversity for Dialogue and Development”, Mr Antai Asuquo, the Operations Controller of the Department of Petroleum Resources (DPR), Warri Zonal Office, has said that the Federal Government had no plan to increase the pump price of petrol.

He made the disclosure to newsmen on Tuesday on a sideline during the celebration of the day held simultaneously in all the DPR offices in the country.


The annual event with the theme,” Exploring Nigeria’s Diversity and Rich Cultural Heritage” was organized by the DPR.


Asuquo, urged Nigerians to be focused and stop worrying about possible fuel hike that could lead to crisis in the supply chain, adding that ‘the product is available and the pump price remains N145 per litre’. He warned that hoarding the product at home is dangerous.

On the World Day for Cultural Diversity for Dialogue and Development, Asuquo said Nigeria remained an indivisible entity irrespective of it's ethnic, religious and cultural differences.
