Proposed N5 Petrol Levy A Huge Joke – NUPENG by deantimes(m): 7:50pm On Jun 03, 2017
THE Nigerian Union of Petroleum and Natural Gas Workers (NUPENG) has criticised the proposed N5 petrol levy by the Senate, describing it as a huge joke.

Alhaji Tokunbo Korodo, the South-West Chairman of NUPENG, said in Lagos on Saturday that the proposal was ill-timed and also smacked of insensitivity to the current economic hardships facing Nigerians.

He wondered how the nation’s Upper Chamber could think of another fuel price increase when Nigerians were “striving to cope with the current harsh economic realities”.

“How can the Senate propose such a bill at this particular period when poor Nigerians can hardly feed themselves?

“The prices of foodstuffs have tripled in the market, while workers’ salary has not been increased,” Korodo told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN).

Sen. Kabiru Gaya (APC-Kano), the Chairman, Senate Committee on Works, had on June 1, presented a bill entitled, “National Roads Bill” to the House.

The bill recommends that Nigerians should pay N5 levy on every litre of imported petroleum products and that levy will form part of the proposed national roads fund.


It also recommends the deduction of 0.5 per cent on fares paid by passengers travelling on inter-state roads to commercial mass transit operators as well as the return of toll gates on federal roads, among others.

Korodo said:“Just a year ago, the pump price of petrol was increased from N87 to N145 per litre and Nigerians accepted the increment because of the sincerity of President Muhammadu Buhari’s administration.

“Any attempt to adjust the price of petrol under any guise will be resisted by the Organised Labour.”

The NUPENG chief called on well-meaning Nigerians to prevail on the leadership of the Senate to step down the bill.

A very huge joke comrades. We will not take it because these senators do not buy petrol like millions of ordinary citizens, they just go to the Senate filling station and fill up their tanks.


Why can't these kidnappers abduct these guys one after the other or even kill some of them if need be?


Mods, don't you guys watch football? Watching Juventus beat the crap out of Real Madrid

Farcical government based on mendacity. If you were part of the people who voted APC into power you should bow your heads in shame.

Nigeria was better off before May 2015. # spits.

This alone, can set this country on fire.

#87 to #145 and there has been no significant positive change and you think additional #5 would do the magic?

Oga senator on this matter eh, just forget that national road bill nonsense' and leave the Road like that for us. Senator is it your Road?
They repaired your Abuja airport Road in due time without additional levy to you pocket. Now you think you can come and levy me Abi?

I wonder why organized Labour never goes to the public hearing to say these things instead of the pages of newspapers. I'm not convinced layout is that genuine. Probably fronting to be settled. If the want to influence things, they should play the game properly. Why not go the the Nass and tell them to their faces that they are overpaid and insensitive.
