‘Come to our aid,’ Kunle Afolayan cries out over hike in diesel price

Nollywood director and producer, Kunle Afolayan, has cried out over the increase in the price of diesel, revealing that he spends millions to power the KAP Film Village monthly despite having solar power.

Afolayan in a recent video expressed his displeasure with the current price of diesel, calling for assistance from the public.

“It’s not sustainable because even the diesel we have been buying was on credit and when we make small money we find a way to pay, and sometimes it takes two months to pay and then get another one on credit,” he stated.

Afolayan also revealed that he has been sad because of his inability to keep up with the expenses, adding that he might have to take a loan to upgrade his solar power.

“We need a loan to upgrade our solar power. So if you can come to our aid, I will really appreciate it. I have been sad because I can’t cope with the N1,500 per liter of diesel. I can’t even comprehend it because in one of the businesses that we run, Cab Village, we spent about N11 million in 4 to 5 weeks. And even though we have solar power, we still spend a lot on diesel. When this announcement of the new diesel price came, I have been sad. From N995 or N1000 to more than N1,500,” he added.
