President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has received a proposal to slash petrol price to N480 per litre.
Former senator, Ishaku Abbo made the proposal available to the President.
Ishaku stated that he has a solution to the fuel crisis in the nation, noting that he already sent a proposal to President Tinubu.
According to him, the price of petrol would come down to ₦480 in 2025 if the president approves the proposal.
He made this known while addressing newsmen in Yola, the capital of Adamawa state.
He said that he has developed a comprehensive strategy to reduce petrol prices in Nigeria from the current over ₦1000 per litre to ₦480 in just five months to bring relief to Nigerian citizens devastated by the high cost of living.
The senator’s statement comes on the heels of the recent national grid collapse, which plunged the North into total darkness for almost three weeks.
Abbo who criticised successive Adamawa State governments for their inability to collaborate with the federal government to upgrade the Kiri dam in Shelleng LGA into an electricity generation dam that can generate at least 35MW of electricity for Adamawa State and its environs urged Governor Ahmadu Fintiri, to focus more on projects that have direct bearing on rural dwellers than building flyovers.
“People are suffering, people are dying of hunger every day, and crime is on the rise due to poverty and a lack of legitimate job opportunities, especially for the youth.
“My heart bleeds when I see people roaming to find food unsuccessfully for their families,” he stated.
