The pan-Yoruba socio-political organization, Afenifere , on Saturday, said the high cost of energy impacts health and security like it does to the economy. Afenifere 's remark is in reaction to the price of a litre of petrol now going for between N1,000 and N1,400, a kilogram of cooking gas is about N1,500. As of 2023, a litre of fuel was N197 while a kilogram of gas was about half the current price.
And, as is known, the crime rate is always high where the unemployment rate is high thus inducing insecurity and banditry. To quickly ease the pains that the high cost of energy is causing Nigerians, Afenifere called on the NNPCL to deliver on its promises of revamping the country’s moribund refineries. Allusions were made to several promises that the corporation has made on getting the refineries to work starting with that of Port Harcourt.
