UAD Comdemns FG Fuel Subsidy Removal

 United Action for Democracy (UAD)

United Action for Democracy (UAD) right group condemned the recent fuel subsidy removal decision by the Federal Government.

UAD also called for indefinite mass action beginning from Wednesday, Jan 4, to force government to rescind its decision on the removal of the petroleum subsidy.

UAD National Convener and National General Secretary, Messrs. Jaye Gaskia and Ken Henshaw said “The UAD considers this policy not only insensitive, ill thought out and absolutely unnecessary, but also provocative and inhumane.

“Given the fact that 70 per cent of Nigerians live below what is considered the poverty line, and 90 per cent live on less than $2 a day, an increase of this magnitude or whatever magnitude for that matter will spell social and economic doom for the vast majority of Nigerians who are already overburdened by unemployment, poor infrastructure, high cost of living, unaffordable basic social services and dwindling livelihoods”
