Court Orders FG to Set Prices for Essential Goods, Fuel in 7 Days
A Federal High Court ruling mandates the Nigerian government to set prices for essential goods and fuel within seven days. This victory in a case led by human rights lawyer Femi Falana stems from the government’s inaction on price control.

Judge Ambose Lewis-Allagoa granted all claims in Falana’s motion, citing the absence of opposition from the government. This means prices for milk, flour, salt, sugar, bicycles, motorcycles, vehicles, and fuel (diesel, petrol, kerosene) must be determined by the government within the stipulated timeframe.
Nigerians await the impact of this ruling, hoping for relief from soaring prices of essential goods and fuel.
