Subsidy: Niger Delta youths push for modular refineries
Niger Delta youths have hailed President Bola Tinubu for removing fuel subsidies.
The youth who are members of the Niger Delta Amagbein Peace Movement (NDAPM), founded by a former militant leader, Gen. Amagbein Adaka-Boro II, however, appealed to the president to look into the issue of modular refineries to encourage competition and force down the price of petroleum products.
The youth said the country would no longer continue to act as Father Christmas to corrupt politicians and other nations.
In a statement, Adaka-Boro II, who is the Commanding Officer, NDAPM, expressed confidence in the leadership style of Tinubu.
Adaka-Boro II said: “The movement heartily felicitates with President Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu and expresses confidence in his leadership style.
“We state unequivocally that the people of Niger Delta are optimistic that this administration will address the issues of underdevelopment, unemployment, roads and infrastructural deficit bedeviling the people of the region.
“We utilise this medium to pledge our support on the subsidy removal. We wonder why Nigeria should be a Father Christmas to corrupt politicians and other nations, we therefore appeal to Mr. President as a way of creating incentives to look into the issues of modular refineries, as this will help to generate jobs, reduce price of petroleum products and increase revenue.”
