Shortly after President Bola Tinubu announced the cancellation of petrol subsidy, queues for the product have resurfaced in parts of the country.
Tinubu made the pronouncement in his inaugural speech on Monday.
“On fuel subsidy, unfortunately, the budget before I assumed office is that no provision is there for fuel subsidy. So fuel subsidy is gone,” the president had said.
Soon after, some filling stations in Lagos and Abuja were closed while others that dispensed petrol had large queues of cars and people, lining up to fill their tanks and kegs. Same trend is happening other states as well.
