Gbenga Olawepo-Hashim
…Says it could fall to ₦200
The Presidential Candidate of the Accord Party, Dr Gbenga Olawepo-Hashim, has said petrol can be sold at a sustainable price of ₦605 per litre under an Accord administration, with the price potentially falling to between ₦200 and ₦300 if production costs and the exchange rate are stabilised.
Hashim, who has consistently opposed the removal of petrol subsidy, said the proposed ₦605 price would not amount to an artificial subsidy, insisting that it could be achieved without reducing government revenue or Federation Account Allocation Committee (FAAC) revenues.
