Tinubu also vowed to contain the security situation in Nigeria so that businessmen can have a conducive environment for business.
The standard bearer made the promise on Thursday, December 22, 2022 at a business lunch with businessmen in Lagos.
The former governor said that, if elected, he would make bold decisions that would change the nation’s economy.
Tinubu stated that Nigeria would not continue to subsidize fuel consumption in neighboring countries.
“How can we subsidize the fuel consumption of Cameroon, Niger, Republic of Benin?
“No matter how long you protest, we are going to take away your fuel subsidy”promised
Meanwhile, the fuel shortage persists 48 hours before Christmas: With two days to go until Christmas, Nigerians continue to experience persistent fuel shortages across the country. Other than that, some Nigerians have to pay more than the official fuel pump price before they can get fuel.
And unsurprisingly, these factors have combined to inevitably increase the cost of transportation at a time when many Nigerians are traveling for Christmas.
Ms Ohiowere, a Lagos resident, told Nairametrics that at her Iyana-Ipaja location, freight rates have risen significantly as a result of persistent fuel shortages.
Suffering and smile: In Lagos, Abuja, Calabar, Kaduna, Kano and other major cities, Nigerians have resorted to suffering in silence while paying up to 300 naira per liter of fuel in some cases. Even with the rising cost of fuel, queues are evident at gas stations in different states.
