Recall that President Tinubu’s inaugural statement on subsidy removal saw the pump price of a litre of petrol rise astronomically from N184 which was the price before the inaugural speech.

Sam Ode, a representative of the group, stated that the demands they presented required the input of both the state government and the federal government, Daily Trust noted.

Ode said:

“For the federal government, we urge the president to end corruption, reverse the pump price of fuel to N300, and also reverse the hike in electricity tariffs.”

He added:

“For the state government, we demand an immediate reduction in the cost of governance.
