FUEL HIKE:NANS TREATENS THE GOVERNMENT
The National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS), Ekiti
State chapter, is to shut down all tertiary institutions in the
state on Tuesday, to protest the hike in the price of
Premium Motor Spirit, fondly called petrol by the federal
government.
NANS, in a statement by the chairman of the chapter,
Comrade Shina Awopeju, on Sunday, said the
astronomical increase of the pump price of petrol from
N87 to N145 by President Muhammadu Buhari’s
government , was ‘’cruel , wicked, insensitive and brazenly
oppressive.’’
Awopeju said all tertiary institutions in the state, both
private and public , would be shut down on Tuesday, May
17 in protest if President Buhari refuses to reverse the
policy, he described as ill-timed and obnoxious.
NANS chastised President Buhari for allegedly failing to
fulfill his electioneering promises to Nigerians, in spite of
the overwhelming supports accorded him during the 2015
presidential poll.
“Nigerians are gradually losing trust in President Buhari,
because what we are getting were not the kind of change
we bargained for.
“The federal government should find a way of making our
refineries functional and operational than to be increasing
fuel price at will,” NANS posited.
