Similarly, Nasir El-Rufai, says fuel subsidy is back, but many Nigerians do not know this.
Fielding question from newsmen in Maiduguri, Borno State capital, El-Rufai said the federal government is now paying more than before.
He said many people don’t know that fuel subsidy is back, but, if they want to know whether the government is subsidizing 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 liter.
He observed that the packages of support that would reduce the impact of fuel subsidy were not effective, hence reversal of the policy.
