Okupe faults Dangote’s call for total removal of fuel subsidy

A former presidential aide, Dr. Doyin Okupe, has voiced his opposition to Africa’s richest man, Alhaji Aliko Dangote’s proposal for the complete removal of fuel subsidy.

Okupe spoke with journalists on Tuesday in Lagos.

Dangote, who operates a 650,000 barrels per day crude oil refinery in Lagos, had urged the Federal Government in a Bloomberg interview to fully remove fuel subsidy because it cost the country trillions of naira.
