He noted that several measures put in place by Tinubu’s government to reduce the impact of the fuel subsidy have proven ineffective, which was why the federal government had to reverse the policy.

Recall that President Tinubu announced that “subsidy is gone”, stating that the payment of subsidy cannot be justified.

However, the former governor, who disclosed that he fully supported the policy, stated that Tinubu’s government needed to make necessary adjustments.

El-Rufai’s statement partly read:

“In the course of implementation, as you can see, the government has now realized that the subsidy has to be back because right now, we are paying a lot of money for subsidy, even more than before.”

The former governor observed that the price of diesel remained higher than that of petrol, stating that the reason for the petrol to remain at N600 was because the government has been subsidizing the commodity for Nigerians and even paying higher.
