Peter Obi Says Petrol Subsidy Could Return if Corruption Is Tackled
Peter Obi says Nigeria could consider restoring petrol subsidy if corruption and leakages in government spending are substantially reduced. Speaking in Sokoto, the former Anambra State governor said the debate should go beyond subsidy removal to how public funds are managed. He argued that cutting corruption could give the government more room to support Nigerians. Petrol subsidy removal in 2023 contributed to higher fuel prices and transport costs. While some Nigerians favour a return to subsidy, others believe targeted relief and stronger oversight would be more sustainable. Should Nigeria restore petrol subsidy if leakages are addressed, or pursue other ways to reduce fuel costs?
