Tinubu declared an end to the subsidy regime during his swearing in May 2023, leading to a hike in the cost of the essential commodity.

President Bola Tinubu has justified the removal of fuel subsidy by his administration and labelled it a “necessary” move to secure the country’s future.

Tinubu declared an end to the subsidy regime during his swearing ceremony in May 2023, leading to a hike in the cost of the essential commodity.

There were protests and condemnation of the move which critics say has triggered untold hardships on the teeming masses.

But during his visit to Enugu State on Saturday, Tinubu defended the bold and said it was needed for a better Nigeria.
