Former governor of Kaduna State, Nasir El-Rufai, has said the Federal Government has continued to pay for fuel subsidy.
Speaking in Maiduguri Borno State, yesterday, El-Rufai said the government is now paying more subsidy than it was paying before, explaining that the support that would have cushioned the effect of the removal of subsidy was not effective, which he said has led to the reversal of the policy.
In his inaugural speech on May 29, President Bola Tinubu announced that the government would no longer pay for subsidies, and shortly afterwards, the cost of fuel was increased.
But El-Rufai, who said he supports the removal of subsidy, said the government had to make necessary adjustments.
