FG'S DEREGULATION/REGULATION OF PUMP PRICE IS CONTRADICTORY- GARGA
According to Garga, who doubles as the Commissioner, Ministry for Physical Planning and Urban Development, Plateau State who sees the issue of increase in petroleum price as a contradiction, said " it is a contradiction in the sense that government says it is going to fully deregulate the issue of petroleum products yet they are saying they are going to add price"
Garga reveals that In deregulation, you don't regulate ànd deregulate again. If you want to deregulate then the prices are going to be determined by the forces of market, if you are regulating which means you can add or reduce price but when you are fully applying deregulation policy then government should have no hand in price, it is the market force that determines the price.
He opines that " we don't know what government is up to, are we into full deregulation or they are still regulating?"
He adds that "If they are still deregulating then it means they will still pay subsidy, if they are regulating then it means market will determine the prices then there will be no issues of adding or reducing prices".
Garga charged the Federal government come clear with what they are up to adding " Are they regulating or deregulating? Let the people know what they are in for"
Garga made this known in Garga village of Kanam LGA of Plateau State during the wedding fatiha of his son Nasiru who is the secretary of Jos chapter of PTD/ NUPENG on Saturday 3rd April 2021
He further sated "For me and members of my family we are happy to have added one person into our family again because the wife is coming into our family and very soon God will bless the womb and the family will continue to expand. we appreciate that, and we hope this marriage is going to bring more blessings and successes to this family for which we are most grateful to Almighty Allah".
