 Fuel Subsidy Is Back – 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 “is gone.” 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.
