The fishermen lamented that fuel subsidy removal had taken a toll on their business in form of low patronage.

The National President of the association, Mr Orioye Gbayisemore, stated this in a letter addressed to the Ondo State acting Governor, Mr Lucky Aiyedatiwa, a copy of which was made available to our correspondent on Sunday.

He said, “The removal of subsidy has worsened the situation of the people living in the riverine communities of Ondo State, because it takes an average of 200 litres of petrol at N700, amounting to N120,000, to set out for fishing activities, which is the economic mainstay of the people in the riverine area of Ondo State.

“With the declaration of state of emergency on the food and agriculture sector by President Bola Tinubu, the fishery sector should be considered as a critical sector that provides the cheapest protein source to the common Nigerian and 65 per cent of total consumption rate come from the artisanal fishermen.
