Don’t Increase Fuel Price To N1,200 Per Litre- NANS Tells NNPCL

The Southwest Zone of the National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS) has urged the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation Limited (NNPCL) to refrain from considering an increase in petrol prices to N1,200 per litre, an idea being advocated by certain individuals and groups.

In a statement by Zonal Coordinator Comrade Alao John, Secretary Comrade Sanni Olamide, and Public Relations Officer Comrade Bamigboye Oluwadamilola, NANS emphasized that the proposed price hike by some marketers was poorly thought out. The student body highlighted its concern for worsening economic difficulties experienced by citizens, forming the basis of its position against such a move.

“Nigeria has been grappling with economic challenges, and any move that might further burden its citizens will be met with resistance. The proposal to remove fuel subsidies and fix petrol prices significantly higher than the current rates has already ignited a nationwide debate.

“The leadership of NANS Southwest Zone D, representing the student community in the region, has taken a resolute stand against these proposed measures. We argue that such actions could worsen the economic plight of ordinary Nigerians who are already grappling with rising costs of living and limited financial resources.”

“NANS Southwest Zone D suggests that, instead of fixing petrol prices at ₦1,200, the government should explore alternative solutions that address economic challenges without imposing undue burdens on the people. This could include measures to enhance efficiency in the petroleum sector, reduce corruption, and promote fiscal responsibility.

“In conclusion, NANS Southwest Zone D’s opposition to the proposed fuel price hike reflects the concerns of a significant segment of the Nigerian population. Our call for a reevaluation of economic policies emphasizes the need for solutions that prioritize the welfare of the citizens,” the association said.
