Fuel price hike ! Strike is not the answer . written by Wale Ojo lanre Nigerians should be circumspect in handling and reacting to this issue of price hike .
Honestly, it is harsh and painful but it seems to be the way out of persistent fuel scarcity and corruption in the oil sector .
Nigerians should be careful of attention seeking and popularity mongering individuals and group who will be out to mobilize the people to go on strike and cause crisis .
There are certain painful stepsand which we must take and embraceto liberate this nation from permanent imprisonment ,entanglement and oppression from the oil sector .
Is it not a better option if fuel is available at 145 naira than to buy at 250 naira with pain and long queue ?
I don't think the government will be happy inflicting sorrow , pain and cultivating opprobrium to itself just for the fun of it !
Making Nigerian ungovernable through strike action or uncontrollable street demonstration will further impoverish Nigeria .
Let us deal with this problem in the oil sector once and for all and move Nigeria forward
We should not allow or permit the victory of corruption which is fighting back now
Let the government be transparent and educate people better on the modalities and consequences of the price hike
Let there be spirited public awareness on this
Let the government dialogue with the Labour on this for more insight into the hike
And lastly let President Buhari address the nation on this
It is very important and urgent !
