NNPCL chief, Kyari, claims fuel subsidy ‘vanished’ in Nigeria February

The Group Chief Executive Officer of the Nigeria National Petroleum Commission Limited, Mele Kyari, said on Thursday the subsidy regime ended in the country in February.

President Bola Tinubu had in his inaugural address shortly after taking the oath of office on Monday declared that “fuel subsidy is gone” in the country.

The president’s declaration had since been met with protests by individuals and groups, including the Labour Party, the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) and the Trade Union Congress (TUC) following the return of queues at filling stations and the increase in fuel prices by marketers across the country.
