By removing fuel subsidies, Nigeria will create a more conducive environment for private sector investment in the petroleum industry.
The removal would enable market forces to determine fuel prices, promoting competition and attracting domestic and foreign investors. Increased private sector participation can lead to enhanced efficiency, technological advancements,
and job creation, ultimately contributing to the country's economic diversification and prosperity.
The NMDPRA will opretationalize the strategic reserve that will help reduce the shortage of products that can occur in the interim and lead to price increases in the short term.
An unsubsidized petrol market is not a free-for-all, market rules still applies and NMDPRA will serve as the unbiased umpire to see that these rules are obeyed.

When you judge a man who you have not spent time with, a man whose portrayal of him have been tainted by perspectives from bitter politicians and you then get to meet the man in person this is what you get.
A Honourable member elected on the platform of the Labour party had this to say after his first meeting with the president of the federal republic of Nigeria, his Excellency, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
He saw the zeal, the passion to get the nation working again. Isn't that amazing news? It might be new to him, but we have known that all along.
How many more have judged Bola Ahmed Tinubu wrongly in the same way? How many have thought him a minuscule of the man he truly is?
@officialABAT begged @MBuhari to recognize June 12 as the real Democracy Day and Buhari agreed.
The then president also honoured Abiola the highest award in the land, GCFR and tendered apology to his family for the injustice meted to the winner of that presidential election.
It was a day I’ll live to cherish. It was my first time of voting in a presidential election as we queued behind the SDP agent because it was Option A4 system of voting where every voter openly queued behind SDP or NRC party agent after accreditation.

His running mate was a Muslim too and he also hails from Borno state like Tinubu’s running mate now Vice President.

This is the tragedy that we have turned Christianity into, that an artiste will come to a church and lead in ten minutes praise and worship for N10m, N5m. So if that particular artiste doesn’t sing Jesus you love me too much, that means God didn’t love you too much?
I met with top labour leaders in Kwara State where I appealed to them that the recent removal of fuel subsidy had been done in good faith to curb further damage to the economy.
In my remarks, I said Mr. President and all of the Governors really acknowledge the short-term pains that come with the development, but we are committed to making sure that the interest of the workers and the Nigerian people is protected.
Subsidy regime means Nigeria is running a deficit budget that continues to hurt economic growth and make people poorer. The country was having to borrow to feed a tiny few, while important things like infrastructural development, industrial growth,
