Former senator, Ishaku Abbo has said that he has a solution to the fuel crisis in the nation.
Abbo disclosed that he has sent a proposal to President Bola Tinubu, that the price of petrol can come down to ₦480 in 2025 if the president approves the proposal.
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.
