Former President, Olusegun Obasanjo, revealed that fuel subsidy which was removed by the Federal Government in 2023 has been reintroduced due to inflation.

President Bola Tinubu during his inaugural address on May 29, 2023, had declared that fuel subsidy “is gone.”

The development has led to the increase of petrol price from about N200 to over N600 per litre.

In an interview with the Financial Times, Obasanjo faulted the manner in which the subsidy was removed by the government.


According to him, the government should have implemented some measures before the subsidy removal.

He, however, explained that the subsidy has “come back” due to the inflation rate.

“There’s a lot of work that needs to be done. Not just wake up one morning and say you removed the subsidy. Because of inflation, the subsidy that we have removed is not gone. It has come back,” Obasanjo said.

He also highlighted the need for investor confidence in Nigeria, stating, “You have to go from a transactional economy to a transformational economy.”


Daily Trust reports that some of the demands of the ongoing nationwide protest is reinstatement of the fuel subsidy regime.

But Tinubu, in his Sunday broadcast, ruled out possibility of returning fuel subsidy.


He described the decision to remove the fuel subsidy as painful but necessary, while arguing that it had been a “noose around the economic jugular of our Nation” and had hindered economic development and progress.

When i say this government is not communicating enough to Nigerians
You think we just want to attack them.

President Tinubu fire your Minister of Information
Re-jig your information outlet
This subsidy thing should be explained in at least 30 different dialects as we have at least 250 dialects in Nigeria.

We have Artificial Intelligence, you can compose this narrative and it will be automatically translated and even the farmer in maiduguri will understand what your policies are.

You keep sitting on square pegs in round holes, till these protests lead to your removal.
You need a voice louder and smarter than naysayers and opposition.

Subsidy is back when I just bought fuel for 900 per litre this morning, apparently, we are paying more for fuel while the federal government is paying more for Subsidy than before, this type of economics should be studied at Havard.

That is an elder statesman statement, not these career embittered pathetic politicians, especially like Bitter grievingory Obi. He said the manner in which subsidy was removed was wrong, but people should still believe in Nigeria.

How is it different from what Obi said? Obi suggested a phased removal with things in place before total removal. You called him container economist.🤦🏾‍♂️

Obasanjo always speaks with wisdom. His insights on the fuel subsidy issue highlight the complexities of our economy. It's clear that a hasty removal without proper planning can lead to chaos. Let’s hope the government takes his advice seriously and works towards a sustainable solution for the benefit of all Nigerians.

Obasanjo is a man who knows the pulse of the nation! Fuel subsidy might be a double-edged sword, but it shows he still cares about the common man. Let’s see how this plays out for the average Nigerian!

Say the person who shamefully went hiding after Tinubu won. Tinubu is not like you. This moniker MadamVanessa was no where to be found again after Tinubu won and became President. Same with Prineoflagos. It just found courage to resurface. 😂 😂 Lol 😂😂😂😂. They had to start using alternative monikers.
