Vice President Kashim Shettima has affirmed the commitment of the President Bola Tinubu administration on removal of fuel subsidy.

 

 

In his inaugural address on Monday, Tinubu declared an end to the era of subsidy payment, saying the 2023 budget made no provision for fuel subsidy, so further payment was no longer justifiable.
