‘Tinubu paying fuel subsidy more than before’ – El-Rufai

According to him, the FG returned the subsidy because “the
impact has been seen and the packages of support that would reduce the impact
have not been so effective in reducing the impact, so the federal government is
back now subsidising petrol.”

He said many people don’t know that the fuel subsidy is
back.

“If they want to know whether we are subsidising or not,
they should compare the price of petrol and diesel because petrol should be
more expensive than diesel but diesel is priced above a thousand naira while
petrol is at N600 per litre.

“So, we are still subsidising Petrol because the government
has realised that the way it implemented the fuel subsidy initially required
some adjustments,” El-Rufai said.
