Former governor of Kaduna State, Malam Nasir El-Rufai, says fuel subsidy is back, but many Nigerians do not know this.

Fielding question from newsmen in Maiduguri , Borno State capital, on Monday, El-Rufai said the federal government is now paying more than before.

He observed that the packages of that would reduce the impact of fuel subsidy were not effective, hence reversal of the policy.

In his inaugural speech, President Bola Tinubu had announced the removal of fuel subsidy, saying its payment was no longer justifiable.

But El-Rufai, who said he was in of the policy, said the government had to make necessary adjustments.

“Fuel subsidy is another policy that has been implemented by the president, it’s the right policy. I always ed withdrawing fuel subsidy.”

“But, 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.

“This is because the impact has been seen and the packages of that would reduce the impact have not been so effective in reducing the impact, so the federal government is back now subsidizing Petrol.”

He said many people don’t know that fuel subsidy is back, “but, if they want to know whether we are subsidizing or not, they should compare the price of petrol and diesel because petrol should be more expensive than diesel but diesel is priced above a thousand naira while petrol is at N600 per liter.

“So, we are still subsidizing Petrol because the government has realised that they way it implemented the fuel subsidy initially required some adjustments. That’s what I keep saying about policy and policy pragmatism,” he said.

El-Rufai had earlier presented a paper titled: “Leadership and Public Policy: Navigating Challenges and Lessons”, at the Capacity-building workshop for Senior Government Officials of Borno State.

Why is it that Nigerian refineries don't output PMS? What is so special about PMS that we don't refine it yet?

If we can sur OPEC crude oil quota and supply the excess to meet our local demands and refine PMS in Nigeria, I don't see why this country should be spending so much to subsidize petroleum products.

We know,,,,,we dey go market

Bastards. Playing ping pong with the brainless masses according to their political interests and financial benefits. But the most annoying part is that some very 'useful' idiots posing as 'intellectuals' are ever ready to them.

Why you no go smile





Them no born una well to attack Hausa naa

Still wonder why Dangote is not refining petrol






Them use diesel swear for am





Useless country governed by a desperate certificate forger

'subsidy is gone' by Tinubu was a scam.

It is a double tragedy of Tinubulation.

Tinubu increased the price of petrol from 165 naira to 650 naira, this is no 1 driving force of inflation. And he's paying more subsidy than ever before through the back door.

El Rufai is really pushing Tinubu to the wall.

Haha 😄 something Obidients have been shouting siiiiince 19 kokoro no date

Oh lawd! I never imagined the day would come when someone like hell-ruffie will make such a statement as this

This is unadulterated inside info, from a big APC chieftain oh (even though disgruntled)

Agbadorians and their propagandas have all dived into the MUD

Obviously as a result of Naira depreciation. If government did not restart the policy we would have been paying close to N1,000 per litre for petrol.

However, now that the Naira is gaining value we expect the story to change.

So they can still increase fuel price again by removing another subsidy.... this Nigerian subsidy scam is wicked

Before nko

Living in NIGERIA is an occupation incase someone ask u what do u do for living

Watching as enemies of Nigeria will eagerly agree with him, even though they do not like Elrufai

And the APC Jokes will come and say ...HE IS NOT PAYING SUBSIDY.

There has been a subsidy since October last year, otherwise fuel would have been costing N1000 or more. The government wants to stay in power, which is why they keep the subsidy.

The funny thing is there are people who oppose tinubu, blast him for wasting money on subsidy, and lying about it, and then turn around to the same subsidy.

If the subsidy had gone in 1993, by now we would have had more than six working refineries, and a ton of exports of petrochemicals. But Nigerians WANT CHEAP THINGS.

rantingpigs:
El Rufai is just tormenting TINUBU and his legion of Agbadorian losers recently.

Now they are all quiet ..

Yoruba dey FEAR FULANI totally Now I understand why IGBOs call them Slaves to FULANI.

Only EL RUFAI has silenced the whole SW .

COWARDs

This is the best time for Peter Obi to Allen himself

God forbid APC in my life
