There is no better time to celebrate than now , as our dear president may walk back on the subsidy removal . Thereby making petrol more affordable for the masses.
A 50% subsidy reduction is anticipated .
This will drop the price of pms (petrol) to somewhere around ₦307 per litre into the foreseeable future .
Notable economists have advised on this template to douse the seaming tension in the land and it’s attendant consequences.
The citizens of Nigeria has never had it this bad . Infact food and water are practically out of reach for the poor masses.
Cars have been grounded , businesses are being exterminated, artisans are sleeping hungry; wild wild thoughts .
The president is a very responsive statesman and is not shy to make far reaching policy retractions (where and when possible ) in order to better the lives of Nigerians.
