Nigerian govt not paying subsidy on petrol – Presidential aide

The Nigerian government has yet again denied the payment of petrol subsidy.

The Special Adviser to President Bola Tinubu on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, in a statement posted on his X handle on Tuesday said the government did not lie about the removal of fuel subsidies.

Last month, PREMIUM TIMES exclusively reported how the government pays an average of N501.47 as subsidy on each litre of petrol in at least eight Nigerian cities.
