President Bola Tinubu has reiterated that he has no regrets about removing the fuel subsidy, emphasising that the decision was necessary to secure Nigeria’s financial future.
Speaking on Monday during a live presidential media chat broadcast nationwide, Tinubu explained that the subsidy was draining the country’s resources and jeopardizing future investments.
He said, “We are spending our future. We are spending our generation’s fortunes. We are not investing. We are just deceiving ourselves.
“Why should you have expenditures when you don’t have revenues?
“I don’t have any regret in removing the fuel subsidy. We cannot spend our generation investment.
”We have no choice. Otherwise, we are headed for the slippery slope… financial disaster, not just for us but our children.”
