Justice Ambrose Lewis-Allagoa of the Federal High Court in Lagos has ordered President Bola Tinubu-led Government to fix the prices of goods and petroleum products within seven days. According to The PUNCH, Justice Lewis-Allagoa gave the order on Wednesday, while delivering judgment in a suit No FHC/L/CS/869/2023, filed by human rights lawyer, Mr Femi Falana, against the Price Control Board and the Attorney-General of the Federation, listed as the first and second defendants.
Justice Lewis- Allagoa granted the order following an originating motion by human rights activist, Chief Femi Falana (SAN).
The court’s ruling did not specify the modalities the government is expected to adopt in fixing and controlling prices of the listed items given Nigeria’s fast-paced inflation.
