Arewa Youth Forum (AYF) Voices Outrage over Soaring Fuel Pump Price
The Arewa Youth Forum (AYF) has expressed its strong condemnation of the recent increase in the pump price of Premium Motor Spirit (PMS), commonly known as petrol.
In a statement issued by its National President, Ahmed Mohammed Zagi, the group conveyed its shock at the petrol price reaching over N600 per liter.
The AYF acknowledged the positive step of providing N8,000 monthly stipends to some families in the country. However, they asserted that this amount falls far short of meeting the rising costs of goods and services in the nation.
The forum appealed to the federal government to encourage states to prioritize agricultural revolution to bolster food production in the country. By doing so, they believe that this effort would naturally drive down the prices of food products through the law of supply and demand.
In addition, the AYF called upon President Tinubu and his advisers to brainstorm and devise lasting solutions to address the country’s economic challenges.
