The Federal Government, through the Minister of Finance, Budget and National Planning, Zainab Ahmed, has suspended the planned petrol subsidy removal.

He said, “Of course, we all know that it is a desirable policy direction. Of course, we know that it will have some impacts on the people and that is why we are trying to work out some of those things.

“Until those details are worked out properly with labour, and with all the stakeholders in the sector, we will not remove the subsidy. At this moment, it is not on our plate, I can tell you that. “This is something that needs to be worked out between the Federal Government and the states because this is a federation issue. We are working with the governors to see how we can continue with this policy direction of subsidising fuel for the foreseeable future.”All rights reserved.

FGN WITH STUPID & INCONSISTENT POLICIES

These highly irresponsible people could not fix refineries from 1999 till date. They continue paying themselves money called subsidy. Shame

Only rich men are going to enjoy this life

Oooo why na? E for make am easy for Nigerians.

This recurrent decimal of subsidy. Naija govt!

Them dey fear You see these guys fear the powerful will of the people

The subsidy is the differential between stagnant incomes and naira diminishing value. PMS could even attract a tax at the pump - there must be reliable power & electric/diesel mass transit to shield ordinary folks. The naira is the elephant in the room on subsidy - fix its fall.

Good decision, why not use the money to repair refineries. You will think that's straight forward. Not in Nigeria

Lol, you will just wake up in 3 weeks and see the news of removal

Stay work let serve you better Every part of Lagos

Werey people dey fear.😂

It was a politcal gimmick, only the guillables will not understand. APC will use it for a political campaign, that they have a listening ear. If they win, expect removal ASAP. Only a politcal dumb will remove fuel subsidy in an election year.

SERAP Takes FG To ECOWAS Court Over Undisclosed Loans Spending, OthersSocio-Economic Rights and Accountability Project (SERAP) has filed a lawsuit against the government of President Muhammadu Buhari over the alleged “secrecy in the spending of loans so far obtained, the unsustainable level of borrowing by the government and the 36 states, debt crisis, and the disproportionately negative impact of these retrogressive measures on poor Nigerians.” It is barbarous to run a country without any form of transparency and accountability from the leaders. The presidency shouldn’t be a cult, for goodness sake you’re answerable to the people who elected you. Waste of precious plain sheets, ink, court section...the needful is far off Na which court SERAP neva take FG to sef?
