– Threatens protest action when ultimatum expires

A coalition of civil organizations comprising of activists, youth leaders and directors of civil right groups have issued threats of a massive protest to the Nigerians government over the hike in fuel price, electricity tariff, and the ‘obnoxious’ water resources bill.

Rising from a meeting over the weekend in the oil city of Warri, the group called for the immediate reversal of the price hikes in petrol and electricity, while calling for the permanent suspension of the Water Resources Bill.

The groups insisted that the reversal of the price of fuel and power to their previous prices is ‘pivotal to the survival of the poor populace in the country’ as failure to yield to their demand by the Presidency would lead to a massive protest on all federal roads in Delta state.
