 APC PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN COUNCIL PRESS STATEMENT ATIKU MUST EXPLAIN THE LEGAL AND FISCAL BASIS OF HIS PETROL SUBSIDY PROPOSAL At his press conference in Abuja on Friday, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar reiterated his proposed  “production subsidy” for locally refined petrol, which he said would reduce pump prices. He went further to ask President Bola Tinubu to slash the cost of diesel and petrol at the pump. That proposal raises important legal, fiscal and practical questions that he must answer.

Motor parts importers have lost their credit worthiness before their foreign suppliers who formerly gave them goods on credit.


The prices of automobile engines and other motor parts have risen at an alarming rate as the naira has continued to lose its value.

The scarcity has led to a spike in prices of different commodities in the Nigerian market. Earlier in January 2021, a Toyota Highlander 2008 engine was N300,000, but it now sells around N550,000 to N600,000.


A Toyota Corolla S engine as of December was between N320,000 to N330,000 now sells for N380,000 and N400,000.
