SPIKING HIKE IN COOKING GAS PRICE: THE INSENSITIVITY OF THE GOVERNMENT

 

Considering the present hardship in the economy, NNPP Chieftain, Hon. Rasaq Segun Shofowora have condemns the sudden hike in the price of cooking Gas (LPG) in the economy .

He stated this in a press release sent to our office. He said the scarcity of the gas is now generate a lot of crisis and it is time for government to find lasting solution to it.

He said “You will recall that subsidy was removed from Petroleum-PMS and Diesel-AGO due to inappropriate distribution of its benefit, we expect the government to subsidise the cooking Gas, the food sector and the transportation sector so that all levels of citizens can be relieved and feel the much acclaimed palliative care from the Federal Government.

It is disheartening that instead of subsidising the basic commodities, the government has even crippled the access to them.

We recall vividly when this governement resumed power, the slogan was LET THE POOR BREATHE…but reverse is the case here.

Shofowora now begged the President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to address this throat shocking issue as our mothers, fathers and aged parents are suffocating in hardship.

“We sincerely need more competition in the Oil and Gas stream. I wonder what we stand to benefit from DANGOTE PETROLEUM company if the owner enjoys discounted purchase of our National resources and still find it difficult to give back little to his fellow citizens. Is he taking the money to his grave?

“If truly Gas is a waste product and by product of refinery production, let us at least feel and breathe like a citizen sharing the same colour’

He said NNPC stations, MRS, Ardova Plc (AP), and Heyden Petroleum could have been franchised to distribute cooking Gas(LPG) at a subsidised rate so that this present hardship be relieved.

“The exerted effort the goverment is using to lay pipes accross West Africa to Francisco Countries in order to supply them Gas, same effort could be chanelled accross the Nation to ensuring steady supply of LPG at a subsidised rate.

“No matter how good a governement policy is, if it doesn’t impact the citizens, then it’s not a good policy.

“The primary objective of every Goverment is to protect her citizens, but how do you protect citizens you have skinned alive with hardship.So many citizens today can not even feed 3 square meals a day again not to talk of feeding their children appropriately.

“The earlier the better for this governement to be sensitive to people yearnings. The pain is becoming unbearable and we are sitting on a keg of gun powder.

“There is always an end to every journey and, as much as we appreciate the reformation policy of the present Government, we want to be alive in good health to witness the end result”.

This was revealed in a communique issued at an Emergency meeting of the Executive held at the NUJ State Council, Iwe-Iroyin in Abeokuta.

Speaking briefly with Journalists after the emergency Executive meeting, the Chairperson, Nigeria Association of Woman Journalists (NAWOJ), Com. Sekinat Salam, said the meeting was necessary as the news of her suspension was laughable and insulting because it is like a pot calling a kettle black in this case, saying that the Leadership of the State Council, Com. Wale Olanrewaju has no local standing to suspend her or any executive member, even he cannot be a judge in his own case.

 

According to her” The Leadership of the Nigeria Union of Journalists, Ogun State led by Wale Olanrewaju has always been misusing power without recourse to the constitution of this noble Union, hence has no local standing to suspend me or any executive member “.

 

She said only the Central Working Committee (CWC) has the constitutional rights to sanction or suspend any members found wanting after due process has been followed.

 

While calling on members to stay calm, Com. Sekinat Salam assured members of positive representation of NAWOJ at both the State and National level, adding the success recorded under her administration cannot be overemphasized.

 

She therefore called on the National leadership of NUJ to critically look into the matter, either by setting up independent committee to investigate the issues and resolve the matter as quickly as possible.
