Fuel Scarcity and Hike in Pump Price: A Passionate Call from Concerned Nigerians.

Fuel Scarcity and Hike in Pump Price: A Passionate Call from Concerned Nigerians.

....Omoluabi Team Alliance Socio- cultural and Political Group writes, urged Federal Government to be considerable in their decisions making.

.....appealed to Nigerians to be careful of deceivers during this election period.

When a country fails to plan, such a country then should be prepared to fail. It has become the case of national embarrassment on us all as Nigerians can no longer afford to buy fuel at cheaper prices and most times a worst embarrassment when we don't even have assess to same fuel whose raw materials are abundantly available in our country.  It becomes expedient to call government and other stakeholders in the oil and gas industry to explain to Nigerians on why this situation of hike in pump price is yet to be reduced and   why the products have become a scarce commodity. Indepent oil marketers should  be considerable and shun the idea of making excessive profits at the expense of the good welfare of  Nigerians should be discouraged. Security agencies and relevant  task forces should be deployed to enforce and monitor the sales of petrol in all filling stations across the length and breadth of Nigeria.

 It is a pathetic story for a country that have refused to spend the the financial gains from sales of crude to the international market for over several decades but could not own state-of -the art  refineries that will be a pride of Nigeria and even West African sub- region. We cannot continue to window- dress our problems and challenges as a country or pretend like all is well. We must challenge leaders, we must put our leaders on their toes, we must ask questions from those we gave our mandates to in recent times, they have sworn to an oath to provide good leadership and make our collective welfares a sole responsibility as elected political office holders. Inadequate planning,wastage of national resources and sabotage by some concerned investors and stakeholders at the top- enchelon of the oil and gas sector is undoubtedly the root of this challenges we are presently facing collectively as a country. The question is why will a single Nigerian have the financial muscle to put up a refinery adjudged presently to have been the largest in West Africa and a whole county incapacitated to put up at least two of same facilities of at least same standard even if the country can not do better.  

Nigerians have been very tolerant enough, resilient, patient and law abiding. It will be very wrong to continue to take Nigerians for granted in decision makings   

President Buhari and his economic team should do all within their powers to handover a Nigeria where the pump price of fuel and other by-products consumed by Nigerians will be available at very affordable prices and available for all to buy round the clock.

Omoluabi Team Alliance Socio- cultural group advise Nigerians to put on their thinking caps as election time approaches. Leaders who understands the nitty gritty of fixing national economy to benefit all should be  elected in the 2023 general election. The group will soon make public its: most preferred Presidential candidate as preparations are ongoing to provide directions to Nigerians as we make this collectie decisions  to vote credible leaders that will bring great relief to us all.
