The Nigerian Union of Journalists has condemned the increase of fuel pump price per litre in Abuja in Lagos to N617 and N568 per litre respectively and demanded an immediate reversal of the fuel prices to their former post-subsidy removal rates.
In a statement titled “Stop The Ugly Drift”, written by Shuaibu Usman Leman, the National Secretary of the NUJ, and published on Tuesday night, the NUJ spoke against the sudden hike on fuel price, saying that the decision has become overkill as it is negatively affecting Nigerians who depend on petrol for their daily needs.
