The Socio-Economic Rights and Accountability Project, SERAP , has called on President Bola Tinubu to immediately reverse the latest increase in the price of petrol pending the hearing and determination of a suit before the Federal High Court, Abuja, challenging the legality of the powers of the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited, NNPCL, to increase petrol prices.
In an open letter dated 12 October 2024 and signed by Deputy Director, Kolawole Oluwadare, SERAP said the latest increase in petrol prices makes a mockery of the case pending before the Federal High Court, and creates a risk that the course of justice will be seriously impeded or prejudiced in the case. In the letter, SERAP said one of the fundamental principles of the rule of law is that it applies to everyone, including presidents and CEOs of public institutions.
