Recall that on Monday, 29th May, President Bola Tinubu, during his inaugural speech, stated that the petrol subsidy in Nigeria had become a thing of the past.
In the speech, the new President stated: “On fuel subsidy, unfortunately, in the budget, before I assumed office, no provision is made for fuel subsidy. So, fuel subsidy is gone.”
Since the president made the declaration, the price of fuel has increased by 200 per cent. Speaking to Punch, National Controller Operations, Mike Osatuyi told the publication that the price of a 33,000 metric tons tanker of petrol that was sold at N8 million before subsidy removal now sells at N22 million and N23 million, depending on the location of the filling station from the depots.
