This development could be part of the reform President Tinubu has vowed to embark on since he resumed office.
He has promised Nigerians that more economic reform would be carried out, and one such decision was the removal of the fuel subsidy and stopping the multiple exchange rate.
The outcome of fuel subsidy removal by President Tinubu
The removal of the fuel subsidy has led to an increase in fuel prices in the country, which has equally increased the cost of fuel in all the nooks and crannies of the nation.
The high fuel price increases the cost of basic commodities in the country, particularly foods and transportation.
Many Nigerians are complaining about the situation in the country, complaining about the high cost of things in the country and calling for the president's intervention.
The government, on the other, has announced plans to give palliatives to Nigerians through the National Economic Committee (NEC).
