says decision disregards principles of transparency, accountability and fairness
The Minority Caucus of the House of Representatives has strongly condemned the recent announcement by the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) to increase the price of petrol.
In a statement signed by the Leader of the caucus, Rep. Kingsley Chinda, the caucus described the move as ill-timed and grossly insensitive to the current economic challenges faced by Nigerians.
The caucus argued that the price increase would exacerbate the suffering of the average Nigerian, leading to higher transportation costs, food prices, and other essential goods and services.
