President Bola Tinubu
By our correspondent
Advocacy for Positive Behavioural Patterns Initiative has urged President Bola Tinubu to address rising fuel prices and alleviate inflation for the sake of the less-privileged.
Advocacy for Positive Behavioural Patterns Initiative (APBPI), a non-governmental organization dedicated to promoting positive behaviour, social welfare and positive change, is deeply concerned about the recent surge in fuel prices and its impact on the less privileged in our society. In light of this pressing issue, APBPI urgently calls upon President Bola Tinubu to take immediate action to reduce fuel prices and mitigate the inflationary effects, allowing the poor to breathe and prosper.
The recent increase in fuel prices has significantly burdened the Nigerian population, particularly the impoverished segments of society.
This rise has not only escalated the cost of transportation, affecting daily commutes for individuals and families, but has also triggered an overall increase in the prices of essential commodities.
As a result, the vulnerable members of our society are struggling to make ends meet, compromising their basic needs, and undermining their quality of life.
APBPI acknowledges that managing fuel prices is a complex issue influenced by several factors, such as global market dynamics and economic considerations. However, it firmly believe that it is the responsibility of the government to implement effective measures to alleviate the financial burden on the less privileged and restore stability to our economy.
As an NGO committed to positive change, APBPI advocates for policies that prioritize the welfare and well-being of the Nigerian people.
It called upon President Tinubu to initiate dialogue with relevant stakeholders, including industry experts, economists, and representatives from civil society organizations, to develop comprehensive strategies that address the root causes of escalating fuel prices while curbing inflation.
By adopting proactive measures, such as implementing transparent pricing mechanisms, exploring alternative energy sources, and promoting investments in the petroleum sector, President Tinubu can steer the nation towards sustainable economic growth and social equity.
This will not only provide immediate relief to the less privileged but also lay the foundation for a prosperous and inclusive future for all Nigerians.
APBPI stands ready to support government’s efforts in tackling this issue. “We are committed to collaborating with relevant ministries, agencies, and organizations to promote awareness, conduct research, and develop effective interventions aimed at improving the lives of the most vulnerable members of society,” it explained.
