ADC Criticizes Tinubu Over Fuel Tax, Warns of Economic Hardship
The African Democrat Congress (ADC) has criticized Bola Tinubu's approval of a 15% import duty on petrol and diesel, warning that it will deepen economic hardship in Nigeria. The party questions the rationale behind the new levy, citing issues with the government's local refinery strategy.
Tinubu's administration is accused of insensitivity to the suffering of ordinary people, with the fuel tax seen as a misguided policy that could push petrol prices beyond N1,000 per liter, further burdening Nigerians already struggling with high living costs.
