The Socio-Economic Rights and Accountability Project (SERAP), has filed a fresh lawsuit against President Bola Tinubu over his failure to direct the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL), to reverse what it called the ‘unlawful petrol price hike” as well as his failure to probe allegations of corruption and mismanagement in the NNPCL.
Also joined in the suit as respondents are the Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice Mr Lateef Fagbemi, and the NNPCL.
In the suit number FHC/ABJ/CS/1361/2024 filed on Friday at the Federal High Court, Abuja, the advocacy group said it is asking the court “to compel President Tinubu to direct the NNPCL to reverse the unjust, illegal, unconstitutional and unreasonable increase in the price of petrol from N845 per litre to N600 per litre.”
