Fuel Subsidy Removal To Push More Nigerians Into Poverty

Former Head of State Abdulsalami Abubakar raised concerns over the removal of fuel subsidies. <br />General Abdulsalami says the country is facing challenges on multiple fronts and a fuel subsidy removal will only compound the situation. <br />The Federal Government says it plans to discontinue the payment of fuel subsidy by June but the move has been rejected by several stakeholders, including the Nigeria Labour Congress. <br />General Abdulsalami says Nigeria now faces a food security crisis that is compounded by the COVID-19 global pandemic and the banditry in many states in Northern Nigeria.
