The President of Nigeria, Bola Ahmed Tinubu has been urged by one of the country’s human rights groups, the Socio-Economic Rights and Accountability Project (SERAP) to use his influence and position to urgently publish details of spending of about N400 billion so far saved as a result of the removal of subsidy on Premium Motor Spirit (PMS), popularly known as petrol.
The advocacy group urged the president to give specifics regarding the projects that the money would be used for after the gasoline subsidy was eliminated, as well as the safeguards that have been put in place to make sure that any savings are not embezzled, misappropriated, or diverted into the pockets of individuals.
