Date:

From: Femi  Oyelola, Kaduna

 

A group under the auspices of  Arewa Citizens Watch for Good Governance (ACWGG) has expressed dismay over the escalating PMS fuel prices in Nigeria and growing hunger in the country which has led to increasing cases of petty theft and unusually high mortality in our region,

This was contained in a  statement by  the Chairman Aliyu Sani   and made available to the media in Kaduna yesterday.

In view of this the   group gave the governments 10 days, to address the hunger facing Nigerians or they will have no other option than lead hungry, depressed, and frustrated Nigerians to a massive civil and peaceful protest to ensure that they are achieved.

The group, which is   advocating for good governance, also calls for the immediate removal of the Group Chief Executive Officer (GCEO) of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation Limited (NNPCL), Mr. Mele Kolo Kyari misleading President Tinubu into removing PMS subsidy without provision of palliative measures.

ACWGG  further  called  call for a comprehensive investigation into the subsidy regime and the corruption allegations within the oil and gas sector, as evidenced by the suspicious drop in daily consumption of Premium Motor Spirit (PMS) and the astronomic rise in the general revenue of the country.
