A coalition of civil society groups on Friday vowed to mobilise Nigerians to the streets if the Independent Petroleum Marketers Association (IPMAN)
The coalition, which comprises all civil society organisations nationwide, was reacting to the planned increment of fuel pump price from government-approved N538 per litre to N700, stating that the development was pure mischief and sabotage, even as Nigerians are trying to come out of “price shock” occasioned by the increment on May 29, 2023.
The coalition said it would mobilise its members and other stakeholders across the 36 states of the federation to embark on a protest beginning on Monday, July 3, 2023. According to the statement: “If government derelicts in cautioning the IPMAN, we see it as a deliberate collusion to drive Nigerians into unmitigated difficulties, and as CSOs, we will not sit and watch that happen. We will mobilise Nigerians for a street protest, and that should be taken from us.
