N145 Petrol Price: We’ll Occupy Nigeria Next Week – NANS

The Association of Nigerian Students, NANS, Thursday said the over 40 million Nigerian students would re-enact the Occupy Nigeria protest against the removal of subsidy from petroleum product next week.

The National President of NANs, Comrade Tijani Shehu, stated this in Abuja, at a protest rally where the association called for the removal of the Minister of Education, Malam Adamu Adamu. He said NANS is already mobilizing Nigerians students to resist the new N145 per litre pump price of the Premium Motor Spirit, PMS, otherwise called petrol.

FUEL5 According to him, “A directive has been issued to all tertiary institutions to shut down all campuses on Tuesday and Wednesday, next week. After that, they will all converge on Abuja for a mass protest.

”On behalf of NANS and the whole 40.1 million Nigeria students, we condemn the new fuel price and by Tuesday or Wednesday, the whole Nigeria student would occupy Nigeria. So the Federal Government should look into this before NANS mobilize the entire Nigeria students to occupy Nigeria”.

All Federal Universities To Pay The Same Fees - FG

The Minister of Education, Adamu Adamu, has said the Federal Government will harmonise tuition in all federal universities to stop arbitrary charge of fees by some university authorities.

Adamu, made this known while fielding questions on the News Agency of Nigeria Forum in Abuja on Tuesday.

He said, “Since the protests started, we have summoned the authorities of the universities and sat down with them and we are going to harmonise everything.

“Because, I think it is N45,000 that is the maximum that should be charged. I know in some places, there has been other arrangement.

“But the ministry would harmonise everything and I believe there will be no more protests over fees.”

The Universities of Lagos, Ibadan and Port Harcourt were recently shut down following students’ protests over increase in fees, lack of water and power supply on the campuses.

Adamu said that the Federal Government was discussing with management of the affected universities, adding that efforts were also ongoing to introduce harmonised fees for all federal universities.

Become A Rock Star With Jiji.ng

If you are interested in music, you probably know that the majority of the most famous musicians haven’t finished musical schools, and some of them never took classes for learning how to play. Nevertheless, they have created so much great music! It gives you hope, doesn’t it? Actually, a good musical instrument is sometimes all you need. It doesn’t matter what you’ve just thought about – a guitar, a piano, drums, keyboard, a violin, a trumpet – open Musical Instruments on Jiji.ng, and you will find even more than that.

If you haven’t used the website before, you’ll be curious about what Jiji is. Everything is simple: it is the best shopping spot in Nigeria. Jiji is a classifieds website, which remains something in between ordinary newspaper classifieds and usual market. The only difference is that now it all functions in the web space. Thanks to this, Jiji and all its ads are available all over the country. What is more, ads are posted only by real people, who can do it for free. This leads to another improvement: sellers don’t have to pay for a counter as on the market or for every printed line as in a newspaper. No wonder that the website is getting more and more popular.

One more thing that is probably going to pleasantly surprise you is that Jiji doesn’t sell anything personally. This website collects ad and offers from real people from all over the country and helps them to sell by creating proper conditions. It means users interests are our priority, not personal profit. That’s the reason you should think about whether Jiji is a shopping spot worth visiting or not. This is a service, which will help you to become a musician you want to be (or at least support you).

Federal Government Removes Petrol Subsidy

The Federal Government of Nigeria through the Ministry of State for Petroleum Affairs have removed subsidy on PMS in the Country. This was made known in a press release by the minister Ibe Kachichukwu. Petrol is now to sell for N145.

The last time the Federal Government tried to totally remove the subsidy was in 2012 and this was met by a strong resistance from the Nigerian Masses in what is known as one of the largest protests in Nigerian History and birthed the Occupy Nigeria Movement.  The protests eventually led to a partial removal of the subsidy.
