In Umuahia, Abia State, South East Nigeria, residents are expressing displeasure on the recent increase in fuel pump price in Nigeria.

On the electricity tariff increase at this time, Abia State residents believe that it will be a disservice to citizens.
For them, government should first ensure steady power supply in the country, before proposing for increase in tariff.
Many are of the opinion that the current increases in the pump price of petrol and electricity tariff should be reversed by the authorities, immediately.
