Banking, Insurance and other financial institutions and Petroleum
Resources on the  2022-2024  Medium Term Expenditure Framework,
MTEF and Fiscal Strategy Paper, FSP, in Abuja, said the decision to exit
the subsidy regime would be determined by the outcome of the ongoing
negotiations between the authorities and organised labour.

have a direct bearing on the wellbeing of the citizenry and national
security, assured Nigerians that government would exit subsidising of
product consumption once the Petroleum Industry Act, PIA,  becomes
fully operational.
