CAMEROON GOVERNMENT INCREASES FUEL PRICES
LIFE IN AMBAZONIA WILL BE MORE TOUGHER WITH BIYA INCREASING FUEL PRICES
The hikes in the prices of basic commodities being observed in the Republic of Ambazonia is as a result of the bad government of LRC. LRC government has crippled home industries with dangerous taxation policies on small and medium-sized enterprises. As a consequence, the kangaroo LRC government relies on the importation of the basic things they should have been producing. This is where we’ll begin the full briefings of undaunted tonight. I am Onyee Okpala and Star Smart is here with me.. How are you, Star? Still struggling and adjusting to how to cope with the hikes in prices in a zone paralyzed by the ongoing conflict, what the LRC Biya-led government chooses to do is to increase the prices of petroleum products. The increase in the price of diesel and petrol will normally have a proportional consequence on the prices of foodstuff and basic commodities.
Due to the fact that transporters going for a more costly fuel will intend to include the price of transporting goods. Business persons will on the other hand raise the prices of goods proportionately to the increase in transportation. Transporting farms' produce from the farms is not exempted from the impact of the increase in the prices of diesel and petrol respectively. With this, the food crisis in the nearest future Ambazonia is inevitable. Is increasingly the price of petroleum products the best thing Paul can offer after 40 years as President? Car owners have been scrambling for fuel in Bamenda in the Northern zone of Ambazonia in the last two days following the scarcity of the precious liquids. Many have resorted to the use of roadside duel that is gotten from neighboring Nigeria in the place of filling Station fuel that is not available. Roadside fuel dealers in Bamenda made fast cash this Tuesday morning as many turned to them for rescue though others swore they cannot use roadside fuel.
"I have been using this car for four years now and I can assure you that I have never put this 'fingi' (roadside fuel largely imported from neighboring Nigeria) in my.car." added a cab driver. The arrival of fuel later in the afternoon forced many car owners to rush for some, even with containers in a desperate move to possess as many liters as possible, not thinking of the risk of keeping the such flammable liquid in an orthodox way. Matters seemed to have been made worst after the 5 pm news on the colonial state broadcaster announced new fuel prices expected to take effect from Wednesday 1 February 2023. Not just was the scarcity an issue at this point, but the wish to grab some reasonable quantity of fuel before the prices change. "I still have a little fuel but I just wanted to buy some before the increase tomorrow." A car owner tells UNDAUNTED at mobile Nkwen as he waits for his moment for a refill.
According to the announcement signed by colonial Cameroun 's Minister of Trade, a liter of petrol will cost 730FCFA (an increase of 100FCFA) while a liter of diesel will cost 720FCFA (an increase of 200FCFA)
