"The fuel Subsidy is gone. It is unjustifiable.....we shall rechannel the funds to education and healthcare....."

Bola Ahmed Tinubu...

In the first policy directive of his istration, President Bola Tinubu has announced the removal of fuel subsidy.

He disclosed this on Monday in his inaugural speech as the new President of Nigeria.

According to him, subsidy can no longer justify its ever increasing costs in the wake of drying resources.

“We shall instead re-channel the funds into better investment in public infrastructure, education, healthcare and jobs that will materially improve the lives of millions,” Tinubu stated.

Make I quickly go buy fuel now..

so soon.....
No time to check time.

Good decision.

How much per litre now? 😂 😆

A good start.

One thing that Buhari lacked was decisive willpower …with all the military background, there was no decisive decision he could make. Osibanjo was even better as acting president

Same fuel subsidy they have repeatedly called a fraud and have removed many times? The zombies that hid because of Buhari's 8 years of disastrous government are back again to hail and over hype another disaster

Too late, if you reside in Lagos. Many fuel stations refused to sell as of yesterday sha. Few have increased their prices.

NgeneUkwenu:
Make I quickly go buy fuel now..

You are quickly going to buy fuel for what now ? This is how you people mess up policies

Great decision

Wrong heading....the outgoing PMB istration removed subsidy.

The Federal Ministry of Finance, Budget and National Planning declared yesterday that there has been “no change in the overall policy direction regarding the petrol subsidy envisaged by June 2023.”

What happened, according to the Special Adviser Media and Communications to the Minister of Finance, Budget and National Planning, Yunusa Tanko Abdullahi, was that the subsidy removal committee needed to be expanded to include teams from the incoming istration and the state governors.

“By the principles and letters of the 2023 Appropriation Act and the PIA laws, there is no provision for subsidy after June 2023,” Abdullahi said.

This is a risky political calculation, hope it pays off

Great decision, God bless my president, God bless Nigeria.

Starting off on a very bad note as usual...he hasn't even resumed to put in place things that would prevent speculation and rush buying

Did you even listen to him at all?. He said Buhari did not make a fresh provision for subsidy, such that subsidy ends by june, therefore subsidy has officially ended with the last istration.

If true, then $ will hit N1,250 by July. Sorry for those still earning Naira

If Bola Tinubu totally removes the PMS subsidy, that move will worsen the hardship of Nigerians.

Well hypocrisy did not allow Bubu to remove that sham of a thing. Subsidy regime was a cankerworm

That is as fake as that false flag attack APC just did to usher in their gestapo dead on arrival intimidation agencies.

A war was fought and to sponsor the war, underground agreements were signed. So, somebody will just get on stage and reverse those agreements like that. Na joke una dey joke.

Way to go.

Enough of few people milking our common wealth to the detriment of all well meaning Nigerians.

His Excellency, God will strengthen you to give Nigerians the Nigeria of our dream.

Until the end of hydrocarbon fuels, una go dey pay subsidy every year. Infact, una go pay interest .

Let's brace up but it has to be done

And who told you that Tinubu has removed subsidy?? Ngenekwenu? Subsidy has been removed on paper. Anyone selling fuel to you at N215 (today's price) was heavily subsidized.

Subsidy has been removed only on paper - political speech. Nobody can remove subsidy from Eagle square without holding series of meetings with petroleum stakeholders.

This is a nice step if the necessary conditions and checks are put in place to prevent backlash on citizens. However, Hyper inflation loading soon , this apc officials should have waited this evening to know the direction America is taking not to default on debt before taking this long overdue initiative

Edakun
If you are Batist and standing on tinubu's mandate

I need you to take me to where u wee be buying fuel for 197

You guys cannot be enjoying the dividends of democracy alone o

Initial gra gra gra!!!

How much is a litre of fuel now ?

Mr Tinubu, what condition have you put to prevent heavy blacklash on the citizens ?

Remove subsidy is one thing. Hyperinflation that's follows is another thing. Not in this fragile Nigeria economy.
