Though the World Bank projected that at least N13 trillion would be saved from subsidy reform in three years, it stressed that “compensating transfers will be essential to help shield the most vulnerable Nigerian households from the initial price impacts of the subsidy reform.”
Mr. Tinubu assumed office on May 29, announcing the immediate removal of the petrol subsidy, which saw the petrol pump price skyrocket to N540 from N195. However, the president did not mention plans to cushion the adverse effects on the Nigerian masses.JAMB Result
