PETER EMMANUEL & FATIMAH IDERA take a look at the fuel crisis in the country and spoke to their colleague students in tertiary institutions as well as others within the environment of tertiary institutions to see how they have been affected by the economic crisis
Nigeria’s rising inflation is dampening the country’s economic growth and eroding consumer purchasing power due to increase in price of basic amenities like cost of transportation.
Students in tertiary institutions have been badly hit by the recent scarcity of Premium Motor Spirit (PMS) also called petrol and its resultant increase in pump price of the product. The students condemned the hike in the petroleum prices, lamenting the devastating affects it has had on their welfare.
