Former Speaker of the House of Representatives, Yakubu Dogara, has shed light on President Bola Tinubu’s announcement regarding fuel subsidy removal. Dogara stated that Tinubu didn’t actually remove the subsidy, as there was no provision for it in the budget.
In an interview on Channels TV, Dogara explained that the budget, backed by the Constitution, didn’t allocate funds for subsidy payments. He emphasized that Tinubu’s announcement was merely a pronouncement, not an action.

Dogara supports the removal of fuel subsidies, citing its benefits for Nigeria despite initial challenges. He argued that the subsidy’s absence in the budget makes Tinubu’s announcement insignificant.
