Former Senator Shehu Sani of Kaduna Central has criticized the sitting administration for claiming that fuel subsidy, which they falsely claimed to have scrapped since the emergence of President Tinubu last year, will reportedly gulp over 5.4 trillion naira this year alone.

On Wednesday, it was reported that fuel subsidy may amount to 5.9 trillion naira, as disclosed by the Nigerian Government amidst multiple claims of them not paying for it.

The projected subsidy cost for 2024 marks a significant increase from ₦3.6 trillion in 2023 and ₦2.0 trillion in 2022, highlighting a continuous upward trend in government spending on fuel subsidies.

Commenting on the widely circulated report, Shehu Sani stated: “We are not paying subsidy and we are paying N5.4 trillion subsidy; I really don’t understand this algebraic, linear, or quadratic equation.”
