The coordinator of NANS Zone D, Kowe Odunayo Amos described the increment as punishment to Nigerians considering the current economic hardship in the country due to the Coronavirus pandemic. The students’ body, therefore, asked President Muhammadu Buhari and his cabinet members to reverse the pump price or resign. A statement made available by the students' body reads, “We find it most embarrassing to read of the increment in the price of Premium Motor Spirit (PMS) to N163.
