Native Consortium Demands Fuel Price Reduction Amid Global Price Drop

The Director of the Native Consortium, Edmond Abu, has called on the Government of Sierra Leone to immediately reduce fuel pump prices, citing a recent drop in global oil prices. He warned that failure to act within seven days would trigger a nationwide protest.
Abu made the statement during a press conference held at the CCSL Hall on Kingharman Road in Freetown, where he accused authorities of failing to adjust local fuel prices in line with developments on the international market.
He noted that fuel remains central to the functioning of the economy, stressing that any fluctuation in pump prices has a ripple effect across all sectors.
