This is coming days after the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential candidate, Bola Tinubu, met with business leaders in Lagos, where he spoke about his plan to remove petrol (Fuel) subsidy if elected as Nigeria’s next president come February 25, 2023.

CityNews Nigeria understands that Nigeria expends heavily on fuel subsidies yearly, a development debated among many economic stakeholders, some of whom described it as fraudulent.
