Minister of Information and National Orientation, Mohammed Idris
The Minister of Information and National Orientation, Mohammed Idris, has cautioned against calls to restore the petrol subsidy.
He said a return to the old regime would undermine Nigeria’s improving fiscal position, weaken investor confidence, and reverse gains from the economic reforms of the President Bola Tinubu’s administration.
According to a statement issued by his Media Aide, Rabiu Ibrahim, in Abuja on Monday, the minister stated this in an Op-Ed published on Monday in some national dailies, titled “Restoring Fuel Subsidy Will Reverse Nigeria’s Economic Gains.”
