Fuel Price Increase Inhumane, Insensitive, Group Says

by the Minister of State for Petroleum, Timipre Sylva, who said that the current price reflects the global crude oil price.

“While governments globally are supporting small and middle-income businesses to survive the impacts of the COVID-19, the current administration is adding to the burden of the Nigerian people who have lost their livelihoods and sense of dignity. This increase in fuel price among several other hikes in the public services sector will plunge the Nigerian people into penury and distress. It is reprehensible”, said Akinbode Oluwafemi, CAPPA Executive Director.

“For a government that claims to be fighting corruption yet overlooks the rot going on in the petroleum sector, continues to fund the bazaar called Turn Around Maintenance of the refineries, and yet pushes the burden on the victims of this perpetrated evil system leaves much to be desired”
