Prime Minister Ahmed Obeid bin-Daghr has discussed the ensuring of sustainable supply of oil products in Aden city during a meeting with local government officials in the city today.

Bin-Daghr met officials from the ministries of electricity and finance as well as Aden Oil Refinery and Oil Company to address the problem of shortage of fuel for power generating plants.

The officials gave Bin-Daghr an account on the their plans to face any future fuel shortages by setting a joint mechanism and forming an accounting unit that reports its work at the end of every week.

The meeting asserted the importance of complementary relations between the Electricity Corporation and other institutions and agreed that oil products should be channeled through the Oil Company only. The Company undertakes the task of importing and stocking oil products in accordance with the pre-war rules.

Bin-Daghr said: "Despite the circumstances related to the savage war by the Saleh-Houthi militias, we -with the efforts of H.E President Hadi- have luckily addressed several issues with little resources; electricity improved, the government paid salaries, and we implemented some small projects."

"We will continue like that out of our national sense of responsibility and our belief in our fair cause in establishing the pillars of the state and law and order."
