Nigerian talent manager Paulo Okoye has made a heartfelt plea to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, business magnate Aliko Dangote, and the CEO of NNPCL, urging them to reduce the price of petroleum to N450 per litre for the sake of the masses.
His plea comes amid reports of fuel scarcity and skyrocketing prices, with some NNPCL retail stations in Lagos selling fuel between N865 and N897 per litre as of Tuesday morning. This price hike has been observed in various stations across Lagos and Abuja.
In an Instagram post, Okoye respectfully called for action, emphasizing that lowering petrol prices would demonstrate their commitment to the welfare of Nigerians. He clarified that his message was a humble request, not a demand.
He wrote:
“Our President
Oga Aliko Dangote
NNPCL CEO
If you believe you love Nigerians,
You should reduce the price of petroleum to N450.
We dey beg Please Biko”
