New Pump Price: Protest Erupt In Delta State

Residents of Effurun, Delta State have taken to the streets to protest the recent fuel pump price.

Market women, tricycle,  and commercial motorcycle riders carrying different placards marched through the streets calling on President Bola Tinubu to urgently intervene and reverse the fuel price hike.

Some of the placards displaced read “Tinubu, intervene now to alleviate commuters’ suffering”; “Tinubu, activate Warri and Kaduna refineries without further delay”, and “We are suffering in silence, the fuel price hike is a killer.”

The protesters blocked some major roads as they registered their displeasure.

While most of the fuel stations in the area have been shut down, the few that were opened were selling above N1,000 per litre.
