Subsidy removal: Fuel price hike imminent as crude oil price inches towards $100 per barrel In the last three months since President Bola Tinubu announced the withdrawal of petroleum subsidy, Nigerians are still trying to grapple with the over 400 per cent increment while they continue to wait for the promised palliatives from the government.

Its mediocracy for anyone to applaud an obviously delinquent and unproductive dead duck hiding under the guise of making mu...
