Use My Ideas, Take the Credit but Crash Petrol Price - Atiku Tells Tinubu
Atiku said Tinubu should adopt his proposal and reverse fuel subsidy so Nigerians pay less for petrol, citing relief for households and businesses.
- African Democratic Congress presidential candidate Atiku Abubakar urged President Bola Tinubu on Friday to adopt policy ideas lowering petrol prices, offering technical advice at a press conference in Abuja to ease Nigeria's economic burden.
- Since President Tinubu announced the end of the petrol subsidy on 29 May 2023, Nigeria has faced a severe cost-of-living crisis, with prices of goods and services tripling across the country.
- Atiku proposed a transparent production subsidy for locally refined petroleum, modeling the intervention on rice production support; the program would require National Assembly approval, fixed spending limits, and independent audits.
- Offering to provide the framework at no cost, Atiku told the Federal Government to implement the policy and take credit, arguing sustainable reforms work better than temporary palliatives.
- With eight months remaining in office, the President should prioritize these measures, Atiku urged, while warning that phasing out electricity subsidies in 2027 could further strain Nigerian families.
