The National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS) has lamented that the President Tinubu administration has done nothing to alleviate the nation\u2019s petroleum problem, but instead made it worse.<\/p>\n

The student body stated that rather than increasing fuel availability, the subsidy removal has caused scarcity and immense sufferings for Nigerians.<\/p>\n

DAILY POST had reported the hike in petrol pump price in Ogun, Lagos, Abuja and oher parts of the country.<\/p>\n

It was gathered that while major marketers sold petrol below N650, the independent marketers sold between N750 and N800 per litre.<\/p>\n

Expressing their dissatisfaction, the students in a statement signed by the NANS National Clerk of the Senate, Abdul-Yekinn Odunayo on Saturday, in Abeokuta, lamented that queues in petrol stations are becoming alarming despite the promises made by President Bola Tinubu.<\/p>\n

He said, \u201cThis crisis has continued to persist despite the removal of fuel subsidy which has brought untold hardships to Nigerians.<\/p>\n

\u201cNigerians are experiencing unprecedented hardship and going through hell before they can get to buy fuels.<\/p>\n

\u201cQueues have been a common thing at petrol stations across the country despite the promise by President Bola Tinubu that fuel will queues will disappear in the country after the removal of subsidy, but that has not been the case.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe exorbitant cost of petrol has led to a sharp increase in transportation fares, caused a surge in the prices of essential goods and services. The increased cost of transportation and production is being passed on to consumers, exacerbating the already high cost of living.\u201d<\/p>\n

The student body demanded that the President and NNPC act quickly and forcefully to address the problems before Nigerians are forced to the breaking point.<\/p>\n
