Falana Urges Federal Government to Review Fuel Subsidy Removal

Human rights lawyer Femi Falana (SAN) has urged the Federal Government to review the fuel subsidy removal policy owing to claims that Nigeria is still paying for it.

President Bola Tinubu had on his inauguration declared an end to the subsidy era, triggering a hike in petroleum prices across the country.

But in recent times, the World Bank claimed that the Federal Government is still paying subsidy for the product.

Citing these claims, Falana called on the government to respond to them and review the policy in a Sunday statement.
