We are concerned that as the economic situation in Nigeria deteriorates, the increase in petrol price is pushing people further into poverty.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe would be grateful if the recommended measures are taken within 48 days of the receipt and\/or publication of this letter. If we have not heard from you by then, SERAP shall consider appropriate legal actions to compel your government to comply with our request in the public interest.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIncreasing petrol prices at a time when millions of Nigerians continue to face worsening economic conditions is entirely inconsistent with your government constitutional and international obligations to ensure the minimum living conditions compatible with human dignity.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe arbitrary increase has placed a disproportionate burden on the marginalized and most vulnerable sectors of society, particularly those disadvantaged by poverty.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe increase is seriously jeopardizing their living conditions, well as individuals\u2019 physical, emotional, and individual development, and intensifying and worsening socioeconomic conditions in the country.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe increase constitutes a serious human rights problem because of the intensity with which it undermines the enjoyment and exercise by Nigerians of their human rights and renders their civic participation illusory.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe fundamental right to life includes not only the right of every Nigerian not to be deprived of his\/her life arbitrarily, but also the right that he\/she will not be prevented from having access to the conditions that guarantee a dignified existence.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe growing poverty and inequality in the country has continued to adversely affect the right of Nigerians to participatory democracy, and impede their ability to participate in their own government.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPersistent increase in petrol prices keep people in poverty which in turn perpetuates discriminatory attitudes and practices against them.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYour government has a legal obligation to mobilize the maximum of the country\u2019s available resources to ensure people\u2019s socio-economic rights and to protect the most vulnerable and disadvantaged Nigerians.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYour government also has the legal obligations to probe and prosecute allegations of corruption and mismanagement in the NNPC, and to ensure access to justice and effective remedies for victims of corruption.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cInvestigating and prosecuting allegations of corruption and mismanagement in the oil sector would be entirely consistent with the Nigerian Constitution, and the country\u2019s international anti-corruption obligations.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSection 13 of the Nigerian Constitution 1999 [as amended] imposes clear responsibility on your government to conform to, observe and apply the provisions of Chapter 2 of the constitution. Section 15(5) imposes the responsibility on your government to \u2018abolish all corrupt practices\u2019 including in the NNPC.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cUnder Section 16(1) of the Constitution, your government has a responsibility to \u2018secure the maximum welfare, freedom and happiness of every citizen on the basis of social justice and equality of status and opportunity.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSection 16(2) further provides that, \u2018the material resources of the nation are harnessed and distributed as best as possible to serve the common good.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAccording to our information, the Nigerian National Petroleum Company (NNPC) Limited recently increased the price of premium motor spirit (PMS), also known as petrol, across its retail outlets.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe price of the product increased to N855 per litre, from about N600, and in some instances above N900 per litre. The apparently unlawful increase in petrol price followed a scarcity caused by the reported refusal by suppliers to import petroleum products for the NNPCL over a $6 billion debt.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe NNPC reportedly failed to remit USD$2.04 billion and N164 billion of oil revenues into the public treasury, as documented in the recently published 2020 annual report by the Auditor-General of the Federation.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Says the increase in petrol price constitutes a fundamental breach of constitutional guarantees and
