Monday, September 15, 2025 - A Senior Advocate of Nigeria, Femi Falana, has once again criticised President Bola Tinubu’s removal of the fuel subsidy.
Speaking in an interview on Sunday’s Politics, a programme
on Channels Television, the human rights activist stated that no country in the
world has completely abolished subsidies.
“There’s no way you can remove subsidy completely. No
country in the entire world has abolished subsidies completely.
“Even leading Western countries like the United States, the
United Kingdom, France and others subsidise electricity, agriculture, and many
aspects of the lives of their people.
“So, when the Nigerian Government said it was removing
subsidies, as a matter of fact, if I must say this, it was the World Bank and
the International Monetary Fund, IMF, that insisted that the government must
remove all subsidies,” he said.
