Plateau residents decry rising fuel prices amid economic hardship

The recent increase in the pump price of Premium Motor Spirit (PMS), commonly known as petrol, has sparked widespread frustration among motorists in Jos, Plateau State.

Despite the morning rain, many residents were seen queuing at fuel stations, expressing their dismay over the escalating cost of fuel.

Motorists voiced their concerns, describing the situation as worrisome and adding to the existing economic strain many Nigerians are already grappling with. The unexpected hike in fuel prices has left residents questioning the rationale behind the increase, particularly in light of the country’s struggling economy.

Calls for intervention have grown louder, with many urging President Bola Tinubu to urgently address the issue. Plateau State residents are hopeful that the government will heed their pleas and take swift action to alleviate their burden.

For now, Nigerians across the country continue to hope and pray that the government will listen to their concerns and provide relief from the rising cost of living.
