Tackle insecurity, halt subsidy removal, Sagay tells Tinubu

 

Professor of Law, Itse Sagay, SAN, has called on President-Elect, Sen. Bola Tinubu to tackle insecurity and also halt the removal of fuel subsidies among others.

Meanwhile, the Federal Government has pegged June 2023 as the date for the removal of fuel subsidy, however, the Chairman of the Presidential Advisory Committee Against Corruption (PACAC) believes the move should be halted by the incoming administration.

“The first thing is security. We have to make this country secure so that we can do our farming, and go about our businesses without fear. The terrorism carried out by these people coming from the forest to destroy us is unbearable. That’s first.

“The second thing he has to do is with the economy of the country. Petroleum, for example, I do not agree that the subsidy should be removed without us producing refined petrol in this country. Let him not be deceived.

“Anyone telling him to remove subsidy is trying to ground his party and make him unpopular. The subsidy must continue until refineries begin to work. Now, when we start producing petrol in the country, the cost of petroleum products will drop sharply because most of these costs are due to transport”, Sagay said while featuring on Channel’s television politics today.
