President of NUPENG, Comrade Igwe Achese, said in a chat with our correspondent that the union dud not believe in fuel price increase, hence, it would never support it. This was perceived by Nigerians as a ploy by the government to increase pump price; going by the earlier demands and calls by the marketers for price increase. However, the NUPENG President said any plan to increase fuel price in any or through any means would not be supported; adding that he would not even want to talk about fuel price increase. “The issue of pump price increase is not on the table now, nobody is contemplating that.
