The Protesters in support of the government’s fuel removal today stormed the National Assembly’s main entrance.
The protesters noted that they decided to hit the street to show solidarity with President Bola Tinubu, over the removal of fuel subsidy.
According to the protesters, the president made the right decision by removing what they called a ‘canker worm’ that has eaten deep into the economy.
On Tuesday, the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation Limited and other oil marketers raised the price of petrol from about N537/litre to between N617 and N630/litre.
This development has so far raised concerns across the country.
In response to the fuel hike, the convener of Stand Up Nigeria, Sunday Attah, stated that the Tinubu-led administration has done the right thing and should be supported to deliver on the dividends of democracy.
Justifying the subsidy removal, Attah noted that the problem of fuel scarcity and the attendant hardship on citizens has been solved and people can now use their time for other productive engagements
