In a heartwarming move that has endeared him to many Nigerians, Super Eagles winger, Ahmed Musa, has taken a proactive step to alleviate the burden of rising fuel prices in the country. The professional footballer recently announced a reduction in the price of petrol at his filling station, a gesture that has sparked excitement and appreciation among his fellow countrymen.

HIKE IN PETROL PRICE

The announcement came shortly after the Nigerian National Petroleum Company (NNPC) announced an increase in the petrol pump price to a staggering N617 per liter. This move had left many Nigerians worried about the economic implications and the impact on their daily lives.

Taking matters into his own hands, Musa announced via his verified Twitter page, stating, “Fuel ⛽️ #580 @MYCA -7 Filling Station Kano 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️.” The price reduction to N580 per liter in Kano has left citizens thrilled and grateful for the footballer’s thoughtful action.

With the handle @lakaas123, one Twitter user excitedly enquired about the price difference between Kano and Lagos, asking, “How manage Alhaji? N580 in Kano when not in Lagos? Are you whining us? To this, Musa humorously replied, “That is what me I decide to sell my own 🤷‍♂️.”

THE BENEVOLENT MUSA

This is not the first time Ahmed Musa has demonstrated his commitment to contributing positively to his community. In 2018, he acquired a filling station and was spotted personally filling up a tricycle, showing his hands-on approach to business. Furthermore, he is the proud owner of a sports and fitness center, complete with all-weather football pitches, in the northern region of Nigeria.

Musa’s generous gesture has not only won the hearts of many Nigerians but has also set an inspiring example for other public figures to use their influence for the greater good. His decision to reduce the petrol price in his filling station is seen as a beacon of hope in a time of economic uncertainty, and it underscores his commitment to making a positive impact on the lives of ordinary citizens.
