Reverse unfair hike of fuel price immediately

The Socio-Economic Rights and Accountability Project (SERAP) has urged the Government of President Muhammadu Buhari to reverse the increase in the pump price of petrol immediately.

Daily Times had earlier reported the increment announced by Pipelines and Product Marketing Company (PPMC), a subsidiary of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) on Wednesday.

The new price has since stirred reactions from Nigerians and prominent individuals on social media.

SERAP, reacting on its official Twitter page, described the increment as a travesty, noting that the decision will affect millions of Nigerians struggling to make ends meet.

SERAP wrote: “We urge Nigerian authorities to immediately reverse the unfair hike in fuel price from ₦148 to ₦151.56 per litre.

BREAKING: We urge Nigerian authorities to immediately reverse unfair hike in fuel price from N148 to N151.56k per litre.

This is a travesty, as it would have a knock-on effect on millions of poor Nigerians who will struggle to meet the increased costs of transport & basic goods

Here are some reactions to the tweet:

This is actually annoying as hell, like why do they derive joy in creating more poverty and they hide in their cloned words of saying they want to bring millions out of poverty, I just hope God pays them back in their own coin

Politicians are buying themselves cars during a pandemic also keeping their fat salaries and allowances but struggling Nigerians are levied stamp duties, power tariffs and fuel pump price increase during an economic downturn.@MBuhari is out of touch and his govt is anti-masses!
