Subsidy wasn’t Removed by Tinubu – Keyamo

Festus Keyamo, the Chief Spokesman for the All Progressives Congress Presidential Campaign, has clarified that President Bola Tinubu did not remove fuel subsidy.

The former Minister of State for Labour explained that Tinubu's administration only inherited a regime where there was no provision for subsidy in the 2023 Appropriation Act beginning June 2023, and the Petroleum Industry Act, which is now extant, has no provision for subsidy. In a series of tweets on his official handle, @fkeyamo, he said, "President Tinubu merely acknowledged this state of affairs in hi...
