SERAP Calls on Tinubu to Halt Petrol Price Increase During Court Proceedings

The Socio-Economic Rights and Accountability Project (SERAP) has urged President Bola Tinubu to promptly reverse the recent increase in petrol prices while a lawsuit questioning the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited’s (NNPCL) authority to raise fuel prices is pending before the Federal High Court in Abuja.
The latest price adjustments have seen petrol retailing for N998 per litre at NNPCL outlets in Lagos, a significant jump from the previous price of N855.
In Abuja, the price has risen to N1,030 from N897, with some stations in Lagos reportedly charging as much as N1,050.
This demand comes on the heels of SERAP’s lawsuit filed last month against President Tinubu and the NNPCL, addressing not only the failure to roll back the fuel price increase but also allegations of corruption and mismanagement within the NNPCL.
SERAP has consistently emphasized that these actions are crucial for the well-being of Nigerian citizens, especially amid the current economic challenges.
In an open letter dated October 12, 2024, and signed by Deputy Director Kolawole Oluwadare, SERAP argued that the recent price hikes undermine the integrity of the ongoing court case, risking the possibility of justice being obstructed.
The organization highlighted that one of the fundamental tenets of the rule of law is its application to everyone, including presidents and executives of public organizations.
SERAP’s letter asserted that maintaining the purity and clarity of the judicial process is vital for public trust in the legal system.
It stressed that the recent increase in petrol prices could prejudice the case’s outcome and damage the public’s confidence in the court’s ability to deliver justice.
The letter referenced President Tinubu’s commitments since assuming office in May 2023, where he assured citizens that Nigeria would be governed in accordance with the Constitution and the rule of law.
SERAP expressed concern that raising fuel prices while the legal case is ongoing would contradict those assurances and undermine the government’s credibility.
In conclusion, SERAP requested that immediate measures be taken to reverse the price hike and comply with their request.
The organization warned that failure to do so may lead to contempt proceedings or other legal actions aimed at ensuring compliance in the public interest.
SERAP remains committed to holding public institutions accountable and fighting for the rights of Nigerians, emphasizing the necessity of transparency and good governance.

“I Don’t Want to Jump From Frying Pan to Fire I Have to Be Sure” — Ndume on Joining Opposition

Senator Ali Ndume, who represents Borno South, has admitted he might consider joining the coalition working to unseat President Bola Tinubu in 2027, though he’s not in a hurry to make that decision. Speaking on Arise TV on Tuesday night, Ndume confirmed that he has attended several of the coalition’s meetings but made it clear he’s being cautious.
“I know about the opposition coalition. I’ve attended many of their meetings,” he said. When asked if the group had approached him to join them, Ndume responded, “Yes, they’ve spoken to me, but I told them no for now. I don’t want to jump from frying pan to fire. I need to be sure of what I’m doing. I’m a loyal person, and I have my reasons for that loyalty.”
His comments follow reports that the opposition coalition plans to rally around the newly proposed All Democratic Alliance (ADA), which has applied for registration with the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC). The coalition is believed to be led by political heavyweights like former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, former Kaduna governor Nasir El-Rufai, former Anambra governor Peter Obi, ex-Rivers governor Rotimi Amaechi, among others.

Tiv Youths Beg Tinubu to Help Stop Killings as He Visits Nasarawa

As President Bola Tinubu arrives in Nasarawa State today, Wednesday, to commission major projects carried out by Governor Abdullahi Sule in Lafia, the Tiv Youth Organisation (TYO) is calling for urgent action to stop the ongoing violence and killings affecting Tiv communities in the state.
During a press briefing on Tuesday in Lafia, the group’s president, Comrade Isaiah Audu, expressed deep concern over the rising attacks that have left several Tiv settlements in ruins across four local government areas. Audu described the attacks as unprovoked and deadly, adding that they have led to the loss of innocent lives, destroyed farmlands, and forced thousands of Tiv families to abandon their homes.
Additionally, he mentioned that the latest incidents took place on June 13 and June 15, 2025, affecting communities like Dooga Ayande in Doma LGA, Antsa in Keana LGA, Tse Yange in Obi LGA, and Tse Akura in Giza Area Administrative Council. Among those reportedly killed were Mr. Terfa Tswabee, Mr. Sham Kyodo, Zaki Kwaghtagher Ordue, and Teryem Aondo Apav. Many others were injured, while families continue to flee their homes in search of safety.
Audu urged President Tinubu to use his visit as an opportunity to work with security agencies and state authorities to put an end to the attacks and ensure the safety of Tiv people. “We are Nigerians too, and we deserve to live in peace on our ancestral lands without fear,” Audu stressed. “Mr. President, we are not just asking you to commission projects today; we are asking you to commission peace and justice for the Tiv people of Nasarawa.”
