Crippling Fuel Scarcity: Occupy Nigeria Plans Protests

The Occupy Nigeria group said it had begun mobilising Nigerians for protest in Port Harcourt, Rivers State, on Thursday, April 14, 2016 over the failure of the Federal Government to address the recurring fuel scarcity in the country.

The co-facilitator of the group, Mr. Livingstone Wechie, said another protest would be organised to express the dissatisfaction of Nigerians over the non-availability of electricity amid increased tariff and incessant/fraudulent bank charges on poor Nigerians.

Wechie, in a statement on Friday, said that the protests would serve as a platform to express the hardship being faced by Nigerians.

He expressed sadness over what he described as lack of economic policy direction by the Government.

Wechie said, “We believe the government has exhibited gross ineptitude and incapacity in its dealings. Thus, it has continued to play the blame game on the past Goodluck Jonathan administration as a cover-up to its failures, which is a betrayal of its promises to Nigerians during the electioneering.

"The protests will help to demand a practical economic policy direction from the Federal Government."
