As the Federal Government increases the prices of fuel and electricity consumption, Citizens Centre for Integrated Development and Social Rights (CCIDESOR) has noted that the hike is not for the interest of the citizens, especially that the effect of COVID-19 is still biting hard.
CCIDESOR urged the Federal Government to think of more ways to support the citizens to enable them cushion the effect of the pandemic that has dealt a big blow on the citizens, adding that what is expected is that the federal at all levels should come up with palliatives for the citizens.
CCIDESOR posited that much as the decision of the federal government intends to check corruption by the removal of subsidy, the citizens should not feel that the federal government is not unmindful of the plight that the pandemic has thrown them into.
The Civil Society Organization called on the federal government to rescind its decision for the interest of the citizens, as the hikes will further increase the challenge the citizens are facing in terms recovering from the effect of the COVI-19 pandemic.
