Nigerian Students’ Demand For The Immediate Reversal Of Price Of Pms by xbee20(m): 12:03pm On May 13, 2016 |
Press Statement
NIGERIAN STUDENTS’ DEMAND FOR THE IMMEDIATE
REVERSAL OF PRICE OF PREMIUM MOTOR SPIRIT (PMS)
BACK TO STATUS QUO
The National Association of Nigerian Students, NANS
condemn in totality the decision of the Federal Government
through the Minister of State for
Petroleum of Federal Republic of Nigeria to increase the
price of Premium Motor Spirit (PMS) from N86.50 to
N145.00 on whatever reasons, without considering the
challenges and suffering in which Nigerians masses are
going through as a result of economy instability in the
country.
In an attempt to solve a problem in the country, the Federal
Government must realize that the opinion and convenience
of the Nigerian masses which they represent as a result of
the democratic mandate given to them must be adequately
considered as all problems cannot be solved at a glance,
but it seems the present leadership of the country has
forgotten so soon the roles and contributions of Nigerian
students and populace towards the actualization of the
change in leadership of the country.
The song of sorrow makes the heart bleed, Nigerians are
not smiling, electricity supply does not justify increase in
tariff, price of commodities are going higher, hike in
transport fares and many more has
also affected the students’ populace as some higher
institutions (UNILAG, UNIPORT, IMSU, AAUA…) are closed
down, yet the wages remains thesame, youth corp members
still get N19,800 and increasing rate of jobless youths
everywhere. Therefore, at a time like this, it is apathetic on
the part of leadership of Federal Republic of Nigeria to
decide to compound the problem of the people by increasing
the price of petrol, so we Nigerian students has decided to
resist this and prove our capacity that youths are the
bedrock of nations development.
The most lethargic aspect of the scenario is the exclusion of
youths and students in the reported meeting of various
stakeholders that reviewed the anti-masses price of PMS,
which our research reviewed that the price of petrol should
not have exceeded N100.00 per litre even if the subsidy is
removed. Therefore, the National Association of Nigerian
Students’ (NANS) hereby demand as a matter of systematic
urgency that the Federal Government should reverse the
price of PMS back to status quo.
So far that we are not violence does not mean we cannot go
militancy to
defend the popular pro-people position. We therefore urge
our ever gallant Nigerian students to stay alert as we are
ready to replicate our actions of 2012, occupy all Federal
Roads, and shut down all NNPC, PPPRA and DPR
offices, if the Federal Government refuses to address this
timely.
Aluta Continua………., Victoria Ascerta
Amandla Ngawethu (Power to the People)…….., nothing
shall discourage us.

Comrade Oluwatosin Ogunkuade
