Rising Cooking Gas Prices, Electricity Tariff Will Worsen Plight Of Nigerians – CAN 

The Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) says rising electricity tariff and cooking gas prices will worsen the plight of Nigerians.

The Christian body said the citizens already have enough on their plate with heightened insecurity.

CAN called on the government to initiate an “all-inclusive” security dialogue with stakeholders towards finding solutions to the security challenges.

In a communiqué signed by Joseph Daramola, its general secretary, CAN asked security agencies to respond quickly to distress calls from Nigerians and commended the timely rescue of kidnapped University of Abuja students.

Concerning the 2023 elections, CAN encouraged Nigerians to take advantage of the continuous voter registration (CVR) exercise of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to prepare their voters’ cards for elections.

CAN also expressed worry over the extortion of returning Nigerians at the country’s airports and asked the federal government to provide an efficient payment scheme.

“The national executive council appreciates the recent efforts of the security agencies for the prompt action taken to rescue the staff members of the Federal University of Abuja who were recently kidnapped,” the communiqué reads.
