 The Manufacturers Association of Nigeria says increase in the price of petrol is inevitable. The Director General of MAN, Shegun Ajayi Kader, stated that regardless of the arguments around subsidy removal and the potential effect on the cost of production and the average Nigerian, the product could not be insulated from the laws of demand and supply. Ajayi Kader spoke against the submission of the Governor's Forum to increase the POM prize to 385 Naira. On the economic and social implications of an increase to 385 Naira, as suggested by the Governors, Ajayi Kader said that there was no doubt it would have negative implications for the country. He said the country was already contending with serious security challenges and the fragile economy may be unable to observe such a hike in utility product. He said if the federal government decided to consent to the Governors, a removal in subsidy and increase in the price of crude oil would increase the government's revenue substantially.
