CKN, Thank you for this publication. Pls ask PPMC and NNPC for us ooh because we are tired.
ReplyDeleteY d scarcity?, while fuel stAtions in oda states are filled wit fuel lookin 4 whom 2 buy it. NNPC/ NUPENG pls tell us.
ReplyDeleteThere's absolutely no reason why a rich state like Akwa Ibom should be complaining of fuel hardship for two weeks now. If Nupeng is on strike, isn't it the duty of govt to intervene to make sure the people don't suffer? If they have not done that in all of two weeks, it may be assumed that there's no govt or what we have is govt in exile. Right now as we speak, the price of kerosene which is commonly used by the poor masses has shot up beyond N250, if you are ever lucky to see it, yet nobody cares. Do we really have true leaders or representatives here? I doubt so, but maybe, somebody should prove me wrong here by making sure the normalcy returns ASAP.
