According to reports, the Federal Government saved N400 billion in the four weeks following the implementation of the policy on the removal of petrol subsidy payments.   

In the letter dated July 1, 2023, and signed by SERAP deputy director Kolawole Oluwadare, the organisation said, “Your government has a legal responsibility to ensure that the savings from the removal of subsidy on petrol are spent solely for the benefit of the 137 million poor Nigerians who are bearing the brunt of the removal.
