A coalition of civil society organisations (CSOs) have threatened to picket filling stations who plan on selling premium motor spirit (PMS) better known as petrol for N700 per litre.
A coalition of civil society organisations says it will mobilise Nigerians for a protest if petroleum marketers jerk up the pump price of petrol to N700 per litre.
Mike Osatuyi, national controller of operations, Independent Petroleum Marketers Association of Nigeria , had said the price of petrol could rise above N700 per litre in parts of the north from July. “What I am seeing is around N600 and above, depending on the exchange rate, the current crude price at the international market and the landing cost,”
In a statement on Friday, Basil Yelwa Musa, Haruna Maigida, and Ayo Temi Adebayo, the CSO’s convener and co-conveners, said the proposed price increase by IPMAN is not acceptable.“As a coalition of civil society organisations, we are monitoring events and the proposed fuel pump hike to N700 per litre by the Independent Petroleum Marketers Association of Nigeria is unacceptable,” the statement reads.
“If the 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.
