Nigerian President, Bola Tinubu has stated that he removed fuel subsidy in May 2023 in order to ensure the survival of the country.
He stated this on Tuesday during the All Progressives Congress, APC, national caucus meeting at the States House, Abuja.
He said, “I have a commitment to our manifestos, progressive ideas and beliefs.
“The policies are difficult but there is no way Nigeria could have survived the continuation of fuel subsidy, there is no way.
“Today, I can beat my chest and each of the governors here can confirm that allocation to the states is tripled. We have enough fundings from the Local Government”.
Nigerians have been plunged into serious economic hardship since the subsidy was removed in 2023.
The President’s comment confirms the insinuation that some state governors are not doing much to mitigate the ravaging hardship bedeviling the citizens.
