Senator Shehu Sani, has described the decision to increase the pump price of petroleum products as \u00a0\u201cinsensitive and punitive\u201d.<\/p>\n
Sani, ( APC Kaduna Central), \u00a0who is the chairman Senate committee on Foreign and Domestic debt, said in a statement that the decision was \u201cmost unfortunate\u201d.
\n\u201cAt a time when poor Nigerians are facing enormous economic hardships and are being asked to be more patient all the NNPC can do is to add to their suffering,\u201d he said, referring to the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation.
\n\u201cIt\u2019s utterly irrational and illogical to further impoverish the people in order to achieve liberal self-serving liberal economic aspirations.
\n\u201cIt\u2019s all evident that capitalist forces are holding the FG hostage and are blackmailing it to implement its inimical version of economic reforms. It makes no sense if everyone must perish in order to revamp the economy.
\n\u201cEconomic reforms are necessary but it must be done with a human face and human heart if it\u2019s made in the interest of human beings.
\n\u201cOutrageous increase in pump price is a social provocation. It\u2019s possible to reform the oil sector without necessarily incinerating the country. We must not take the patience, the sacrifice and the good will of Nigerians for granted.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
