- President Bola Tinubu hit the ground running on Monday with his inaugural speech, a promise he made to Nigerians while campaigning for the office of the presidency
- Before leaving the podium on Monday, oil marketers started fighting him for pronouncing that fuel subsidy is gone, they close many filling stations and inflate the commodity price
- However, if Tinubu succeeded in removing the fuel subsidy, the Bureau De Change is likely to be another set of powerful Nigerians that will fight Tinubu
President Bola Tinubu kept his word by hitting the ground running from his inaugural speech as he promised during his campaign in the 2023 general election.
Governments in the past have talked about the threat and danger of the fuel subsidy to Nigeria’s economy but have not been able to remove it as marketers are quick to increase the price of the commodity as well as make it scarce, which mostly leads to protests from citizens.
