Fuel price hike pushing Nigerians to endurance limit – ADC

The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has warned President Bola Tinubu that rising fuel and food prices are pushing Nigerians to their limits. Petrol is currently priced at N1,470 per litre.

The party stated that the increasing fuel price is making life more difficult for Nigerians, with costs of transportation, food, electricity, education, and other basic needs continuing to rise. The ADC noted that every increase in petrol price directly raises the cost of living, as businesses and households depend on fuel for transportation, electricity, and daily activities.

The party also expressed concern over reports of private schools increasing their fees by 30-40%, citing that many parents have not seen a similar increase in their incomes. The ADC attributed the fee hikes to school owners facing higher costs, including electricity bills, taxes, fuel costs, rent, and staff salaries.
