According to the Federal Ministry of Information and National Orientation, the Honourable Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister of the Economy, Mr. Wale Edun, disclosed this development in Abuja after the Technical Sub-Committee meeting on the sale of crude oil to local refineries in Naira.
