FUEL SUBSIDY IS BACK- OBASANJO. (PHOTO).


 Fuel Subsidy Is Back ā€“ Obasanjo


Former President, Olusegun Obasanjo, revealed that fuel subsidy which was removed by the Federal Government in 2023 has been reintroduced due to inflation.


President Bola Tinubu during his inaugural address on May 29, 2023, had declared that fuel subsidy ā€œis gone.ā€


The development has led to the increase of petrol price from about N200 to over N600 per litre.


In an interview with the Financial Times, Obasanjo faulted the manner in which the subsidy was removed by the government.


According to him, the government should have implemented some measures before the subsidy removal.


He, however, explained that the subsidy has ā€œcome backā€ due to the inflation rate.


ā€œThereā€™s a lot of work that needs to be done. Not just wake up one morning and say you removed the subsidy. Because of inflation, the subsidy that we have removed is not gone. It has come back,ā€ Obasanjo said.


He also highlighted the need for investor confidence in Nigeria, stating, ā€œYou have to go from a transactional economy to a transformational economy.ā€


Daily Trust reports that some of the demands of the ongoing nationwide protest is reinstatement of the fuel subsidy regime.


But Tinubu, in his Sunday broadcast, ruled out possibility of returning fuel subsidy.


He described the decision to remove the fuel subsidy as painful but necessary, while arguing that it had been a ā€œnoose around the economic jugular of our Nationā€ and had hindered economic development and progress.
