Heineken Lokpobiri, Minister of State (Oil) Petroleum Resources, on Thursday, said the Federal Government was not responsible for the recent increase in the price of petrol across the country.
The minister said this while briefing State House correspondents after a meeting with Vice-President Kashim Shettima.
Mr Lokpobiri said the industry has been deregulated, and that the government was not fixing prices of petrol and other petroleum products.
