BEVERLY HILLS, September 04, (THEWILL) – Members of the Coalition of Civil Societies in Osun State, on Friday morning protested against the hike in electricity tariff and petrol price.
The protesters who gathered at the Freedom Park, displayed placards showing their displeasure over the increase in electricity tariff and petrol price.
They condemned in strong words that the “approval of new electricity tariff and increment in the pump price of petrol is the highest level of insensitivity and wickedness from President Muhammad Buhari-led All Progressives Congress government.”
