Stop Harmful Economic Policies, TCM Tells President Tinubu
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

A socio-political group, The Collective Movement (TCM), has advised the Federal Government to jettison any of its harmful economic policies to reduce the present hardship in the country.

The group this in a statement obtained by Vital News on Friday.

The TCM stated that the recent hike in petroleum prices from ₦568 to ₦855 per litre has further caused severe damage to Nigeria’s economy.

The group made the call in a press released singed by its Director of Media, Mazi Edwin Nwachukwu.

The statement said : “The impression out there is that since this regime came on stream that Nigerians have not breathed sigh of relief contrary to what it said it would do for the people.”

The statement quoted the National Youth Leader of the group, Mr Muhammad Safeeyan, as saying that the direct impact of the increase is alarming, with transport fares skyrocketing to the detriment of the citizenry.

Safeeyan explained that the higher fuel prices will continue to lead to increased prices of goods and services.

According yo him, the average Nigerian’s cost of living has risen astronomically as household budgets are strained by increased expenses on transportation and goods among others especially now the schools have resumed.

‘’The fuel price increase has hindered economic growth, as higher production costs and reduced consumer spending has resulted in decreased economic activity across the country,’’ the youth leader said.

According to him, a trip that was once N2,000 to N3,000 now demands as much as N10,000, thus causing undue hardship and pains to an already burdened Nigerian populace.

Safeeyan noted that beyond transportation, this has a cascading effect on the cost of commodities, thereby making necessities even more unaffordable for the average Nigerian.

‘’All Nigerians must reject this move, as it adds more strain on a collapsing economy.

“Our local investors are already struggling, with many businesses closing down due to mounting losses instead of turning profits.

”The economic policies introduced by the current administration, led by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, are doing more harm than good, leaving the nation in a state of confusion and uncertainty.

“If this trend continues, survival beyond 2027 will become questionable.

‘’I call on the president to immediately reverse the fuel price increase.

“With the establishment of local refineries where we trade our crude oil in Naira and receive the refined product in return, there is no justification for selling petroleum to Nigerians at an exorbitant cost.

‘’The price of fuel should be able to reflect this new reality and be made affordable for all citizens,” he explained.

Similarly, the youth Leader urged President Tinubu to caution security agencies against the mindless manner with which they conduct their operations, especially the arrest of some individuals without official instruments.

‘’Their actions negate the principle of ideal democracy, thereby falling short of the expectations of many citizens.

“Again, it looks like the country is experiencing an authoritarian government following their daily conduct.

“The dividends of democracy whereby people will be able to feed their family, send their children to school and enjoy their freedom of expression is uppermost in the minds of the Nigerian people especially this time.

“Government should be circumspect and realize that, the primary duty of every government is to create enabling environment for citizens well-being to thrive, ultimately,”  he said.
