Afenifere To FG: Fuel Price Hike Compounding Challenges Nigerians Are Facing by Bobloco: 12:51am On Sep 05
The Pan-Yoruba socio-political organization, Afenifere, on Wednesday, said that the hike in petrol price is compounding challenges Nigerians are facing urging the Federal Government to reverse the announced increment.

Afenifere, in a statement by its spokesman, Mr Jare Ajayi, asserted that Nigerians are currently going through a lot of challenges as a result biting socio-economic crunch and the attendant hardships.

Ajayi said: “It is therefore a wrong time to come up with any policy that will increase the undesirable challenges Nigerians are going through presently. Failure by the NNPCL to reverse the latest increment in fuel price will rub off negatively on some policies of Tinubu administration to ease things for the citizens. Policies such as the Students Loan Scheme and Consumer Credit Scheme that are just taking off.”

It would be recalled that the NNPCL, on Tuesday, September 3, 2024 raised the pump price of petrol to N897 per litre from the official price of N617.

Afenifere argued that it is curious that an organization that declared a profit running into trillions of Naira could, almost in the same breath, claim that it is indebted to the tune of nearly seven billion US dollars. “Why not pay off the debt from the available fund before declaring it as profit?

“It is a common knowledge that the cost and availability of energy such as petrol, gas, electricity, diesel and kerosine are major factors not only in production and services but also on the quality of well-being that Nigerians can enjoy. Hikes in prices of these energy sources have astronomically increased the costs of services and commodities, reduced the disposal incomes of average Nigerians and heighten their health risk.

The combination of all these are making a daily living an onerous task for the majority of the citizens. Considering the fact that millions of the Nigerians had been described as being ‘multi-dimensionally poor’, the recent hike in costs of fuel and electricity are uploading the number of people in that category phenomenally”, the group’s spokesperson said.

While urging the Federal Government to immediately order the NNPCL to reverse the price increase, Afenifere feared that failure to do so may imperil the assurances being giving by President Bola Tinubu that Nigerians’ pains will soon be over.

Bola Ahmed Tinubu's government is presently the number one cause of sorrow in nigeria.
By a combination of incompetence, arrogance and questionable patriotism, this man has managed to inflict a punishing hardship on those he is meant to lead.
I'm happy his kinsmen are the ones calling him out.
I really didn't expect this man to crash nigeria like this.
What a regime.

Afenifere should not betray our Yorubalokan turn of Tinubu o.
His ebilokan administration is favouring us with high price of fuel, food, transportation, water, electricity, education etc.

Tinubu 4+4 is so sure for Yorubalokan to the world.

When they were busy creating faction to support Tinubu they thought they were doing Igbos, when they were supporting thugs like MC Oluomo to attack Igbo looking voters they thought they were doing Igbos not knowing Igbos were only trying to help them.


Shebi Tinubu is the supposed president today, is it Igbos or Peter Obi that is behind the fuel hike? They should wait for tribal supremacy to reduce the fuel price for them

Why would anyone expect the price of fuel to drop or be stable when the Naira keeps depreciating or not stable? Why would anyone expect the Naira to be stable when Tinubu keeps borrowing and we are not producing and exporting? Be prepared ...prices will continue to rise as the Naira will continue to depreciate ...wailing cannot help.

The NNPCL has a right to set prices based on market realities. Afenifere is right that the price of fuel and other energy sources significantly affect the cost of living. This is why government is providing palliatives to cushion the effects.
Re: Afenifere To FG: Fuel Price Hike Compounding Challenges Nigerians Are Facing by elder1002: 7:33am On Sep 05
Northerners finished this country

8yrs as minister of petroleum and also the president.. what impact did he do to reduce fuel.

Promised us that refineries will be working what refinery is currently working but budget for maintenance is being allocated.

Insecurity skyrocketed

He brought tribal sentiment in his regieme.. all top post to the smallest were ruled by fulani.

He signed that subsidy should be removed before handing over to tinubu.

It was in his regieme we saw the rise of dollar and food commodities and prices

In all of this, did the north protest?

Did the north and the governor's talk of abuse him, Did they curse him, Which of the Northern governor's spoke I'll and criticized his government??

None

Now that a Southern man has come and he's trying to bring us out from the mess buhari put us in they are raising shoulders like dem ordained them to born and rule.

How many jobs did his regieme create.

Who began the palliative scam in Nigeria.

There is nothing good to think of BUHARI and his governments.

The man who singlehandedly destroyed the economic boom of NIGERIA BEFORE LEAVING OFFICE

Buhari is the greatest scam that ever rulled Nigeria..

An illiterate in economics but an extremists in religion and tribalisim.


We quickly forget in this country


How many months did he leave the country and go for medical treatment that everyone was saying he died and it was jibril of Sudan

How many times did we enter into recession in his time??.. but he was busy blaming Johnathan government

How many times did he even hand over economic affairs to osibanjo while he left for medical trips and meetings..

He was handing power to abba kairy before the west began to complain.

While selling fuel to us at a price of 200naira per liter do u know how much they extorted from the country to buy refined fuel from malta and co.

And they will say we consume 30million barrels while they give us less than that and resell to neighbouring countries and get massive cash.. that was why they were very comfortable paying subsidy

Buhari ran down this country and he Always came up as a saint with his normal.

I am not aware, i am surprised, I am shocked.

Using cows at his ranch as a disguise for being humble and simple while he ran down the economy and looted enough to cater for his 10th generation to come

All what tinubu can do now is to fix what has been broken which won't be easy ..

To hell with the north.


The only region who has produced more rulers in the country yet when in office does most damages

Aside Obasanjo, Johnathan and TINUBU check out the remaining rulers...

Northern criminals

Buhari quote when Johnathan was hitting hard on BOKOHARAM.


*A FIGHT AGAINST BOKOHARAM IS A FIGHT AGAINST THE NORTH*

Now they can't control the region.. the snake they fed for years now ready to destroy them.

*Nothing is good to remember in buhari's regieme*

The *JIBRIL FROM SUDAN*.. according to *NNAMDI KANU* 😅😅😅😅😅

Even the mess we are in IN TERMS OF NNPC was even caused by YARADUWA

Make we leave this matter oh.. make i even do a history for you all

U know this issue of REFINERY expecially when obasanjo had already issued privatization of the refineries expecially warri and ko

it was reversed by Yaradua, when dem enter seat begin see the shady bloody oil movement cartel deal ehn dem go turn deaf ears.

Why u think sai buhari become minister of petroleum for 8yrs baba... Even TINUBU that was saying once he becomes president na to do this and that.. if possible Create a form of regional system now he don enter see the power of oil

Then self dangote wanted purchasing a REFINERY but BECAUSE of yaraduwa didn't agree to the contract Which was already established by osibanjo that's how dangote vowed that he must get him REFINERY.

*The Yar'Adua administration (2007-2010) had plans to privatize Nigeria's refineries, including the Kaduna Refinery and the Port Harcourt Refinery. However, the sale of the refineries to private investors, including Aliko Dangote, was met with opposition and controversy.*

*The reasons for not selling the refineries to Dangote or other private investors at the time include:*

1. National interest: Some argued that selling the refineries would compromise Nigeria's energy security and sovereignty.
2. Lack of transparency: The privatization process was criticized for lacking transparency, leading to concerns about favoritism and corruption.
3. Labor opposition: Workers' unions opposed the sale, fearing job losses and exploitation by private investors.
4. Government's change of heart: The Yar'Adua administration later changed its stance on privatization, opting for a rehabilitation and upgrade of the refineries instead.

Dangote has since gone on to build his own private refinery, the Dangote Refinery, which is expected to become one of the largest in Africa.
You see right.


And from 2007 till now no refinery working and dem dae pay money for maintenance like waitin dem dae maintain.

No mind this criminals
The north has been a major problem in this country

Same scenero with PHCN.

WHEN peter obi during the atikuobi spoke about privatizing NEPA

BUHARI AND CO KICKED AGAINST IT


BUT HE CAME TO POWER AND PRIVATIZED NEPA TO HIS COUSINS AND BROTHERS

WHERE IS THE LIGHT NOW IF WE MAY ASK

So there is nothing to appreciate about BUHARI GOVERNMENT

I just wish if the south love themselves the way the north loves his brother that even when they know their brother is not capable to lead they back them up.

Why the north tends to dominate in the affairs of leadership in the country is because they are *UNITED*

Successive agenda in the BUHARI PAST ADMINISTRATION.

1. Buhari's failure to improve the economy and reduce fuel prices despite promises.

2. favoritism towards the North and Fulani people in government appointments.

3. Insecurity and rise of terrorism during his presidency.

4. Criticism of Buhari's handling of the petroleum sector, including refinery maintenance and fuel subsidies.

5. High inflation and rise of food and commodities prices.

6. corruption and nepotism.
