Why Activists Who Protested 2012 Fuel Subsidy Removal Can’t Demonstrate Against MBuhari’s Government –Monday Ubani | Sahara Reporters According to him, Nigerians were also more fearful of being detained than they were in 2012, hence the silence READ MORE:
A former Vice President of the Nigerian Bar Association, Monday Ubani, has said that most of the activists that powered the fuel subsidy removal protest in 2012 were now hobnobbing with the present administration.
Following the decline in petroleum prices, the Nigerian Government through the PPPRA decided it was time to take out fuel subsidies, a move it made in May 2016 and later reversed. Back in February 2016, a former Executive Secretary of the PPPRA, Farouk Ahmed, said government earned N2.6bn from recovery.
The control of the petrol pump price by the dollar-denominated oil, which Nigeria is an exporter of, is more painful to Ubani than the subsidies.
