Rotimi Amaechi, Nigeria’s former transportation minister, recently expressed concern about the rising cost of diesel, stating that if he can’t afford it, imagine the struggles ordinary Nigerians face. He emphasized that Nigerians should be outraged and protest this situation.
Amaechi, who served as transportation minister from 2015 to 2022 under President Muhammadu Buhari, has been vocal about various issues affecting Nigeria ¹. His comments likely stem from the country’s economic challenges and the impact of inflation on everyday people.
As a former governor of Rivers State, Amaechi has experience addressing regional economic concerns.
His remarks may spark discussions about the need for economic reforms and relief measures to alleviate the burden on citizens.
