Why PPPRA Lacks Constitutional Power To Determine Fuel Price in Nigeria — Falana | Daily Report Nigeria
SHARE

Human rights activist, Femi Falana (SAN), has revealed why the Petroleum Products Pricing Regulatory Agency (PPPRA) lacks the ‘constructional power’ to determine the prices of petroleum products in Nigeria.

The popular law expert stated this during an interview with vanguard newspaper.

Falana said: “With respect to the attempted fuel hike by PPPRA which has no power whatsoever to make the announcement accredited to it, I was made to understand based on security report that Nigerians were prepared to challenge the increase before the government came out to apologise.

“But as far as I’m concerned, the government is nearly buying time because the International Monetary Fund (IMF) has insisted that the prices of fuel be determined by the so-called market forces.

“You’ll recall that when last annoucement was made, the government came out to say, ‘we’re under high pressure from the IMF and that henceforth, market forces would determine the prices of petroleum products in Nigeria’. But it appears that the government has realised that ultimately, it has to factor its sensibility, sensitivity and concerned of Nigerians.

“If the government had thought that with the agreement reached with the Labour Congress and Trade Union Congress there would be no protest in Nigeria. That’s no longer the case.

“As we saw last year, the ENDSARS movement did not involve the NLC or the TUC, yet organised one of the most successful protests ever held in Nigeria. So, I’m convinced beyond any shadow of doubt that any unpopular media would be fought by Nigerian people who have been overtaxed by the government,” he said.
