Fuel subsidy removal: Nigerians are not feeling the impact, says Osinbajo’s former aide

Laolu Akande, former Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity to ex-Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, said on Thursday that Nigerians are not benefiting from the increased revenue generated by President Bola Tinubu’s removal of the fuel subsidy. Speaking on Channels Television’s Sunrise Daily, he said ordinary people are bearing the effects of the decision while the additional funds go to the president and state governors. Akande also condemned the lack of penalties for those involved in the fuel subsidy scam and called for them to face justice.
