Emameh Gabriel in Abuja The Resource Centre for Human Rights and Civic Education (CHRICED) has condemned what it described as the “hasty announcement” of subsidy removal by President Bola Ahmed
The Resource Centre for Human Rights and Civic Education has condemned what it described as the “hasty announcement” of subsidy removal by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu on May 29.
Ibrahim said: “Because of the interruptions produced by the announcement, Nigerians would be at the mercy of shady oil marketers and ruthless profiteers in the downstream sector of the petroleum business in the coming weeks. “For avoidance of doubt, Nigerians went through hell in the last eight years as a result of the inhumane and draconian policies and programmes of the previous Buhari-led APC administration.”
The Centre said the action of the new administration “amounts to inflicting fresh round of pains, suffering and misery on Nigerian”s. “The key question is: what plan has the Tinubu government put in place to combat these economic saboteurs? There seems to be no strategy, and as a result, citizens are now at the whims of exploiters who will undoubtedly prey on them.
