Major Implications of fuel hike in Nigeria-By Auwal Nasidi

 




The implication of fuel price rise on the Nigerian economy is enormous. 


Whenever the price of petrol hike, there is a resultant effect on the economic activities in the entire nation.


Here are the major implications:-


  1. The rise of fuel price in Nigeria will lead to the increase in the prices of goods and services, transportation, wages and so on, which in turn have adverse effect on the economy of the common man.
  2. The increase in fuel price decreases the industrial supply of goods and services and reduces the patronage of customers, it also led to decline in the value of commodity.
  3. Households’ yearly expenditure on energy, goods and services will increase and their saving decline drastically due to the rise in petrol price.
  4. Hike in fuel price affects the profits made by the retailers and wholesalers negatively, it equally affects the growth of businesses. Lastly, both income and spending of the citizen have affected by the rise in petrol prices. 


Generally, fuel price crisis paralyzes social and economic activities of Nigeria.

    Why increase the price now? Is there any fuel subsidy at all? How is this going to solve the issues/problem of insecurity?. A country will never trivia in the mist of insecurity. Increasing fuel price will most likely compound the issues of the nation. One of the setback of this nation for over a decade now is that we fail to tackle the biggest problem which is insecurity and here we are digging more problems for ourselves.
    Oh Allah grant us better leaders that will be of benefit to her people. Ameen🤲

      Ameen dear sister. But I want you to realize something, petroleum is a remote control of our Nigerian economy. And what we lost in this our motherland is lack of competent leader.

Kwankwasiyya Rubble-Rousing Short-Wave Politics

  By Aliyu Dalhatu Adamu Department of Sociology, Federal University of Dutsin-Ma, Katsina State. The construction of 85km rural roads was flagged-off by the Governor of Kano State, Abba Kabir Yusuf, on Monday 17th June 2024 at Madobi Local Government. The occasion afforded Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, Presidential candidate of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) in the 2023 elections, an opportunity to ventilate his feelings on the forces in political contest in Kano State.  Many people believe that Kano is suffering great abuse in the tight grief of Kwankwaso as an alternate, if not the real, governor in his illegal Third Term.

For instance, from the vituperations of Kwankwaso, one can easily understand that, the NNPP, as...
