A growing number of economic and energy analysts have continued backing former Vice President Atiku Abubakar’s proposal for a refinery-linked subsidy model while slamming the Bola Tinubu administration for failing to cushion the impact of subsidy removal on Nigerians.

Their position comes after Atiku, presidential candidate of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), pledged last week to restore subsidy if elected in 2027, citing lack of transparency on how savings have been spent.
