President Tinubu Gives Fresh Update On Hike Of Fuel Price
President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has assured Nigerians that there will be no increment in the price of fuel.
He disclosed that his administration is already taking steps that would ensure there is no increase of fuel prices in the country without having to reverse the nation’s decision to exit the subsidy regime.
Tinubu gave the assurance on Tuesday while addressing newsmen in the Presidential Villa, Abuja via his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Ajuri Ngelale.
According to Ngelale, Tinubu is taking steps to clean up inefficiencies within the petroleum industry.
