Vice President Kashim Shettima has reaffirmed the government's commitment to tackling the long-standing issues of fuel subsidy and multiple exchange rates.
Shettima acknowledged that unveiling such a complex issue would face fierce opposition from those who have been benefiting from the subsidy scam.
Shettima pledged that the issue of fuel subsidy would be squarely addressed, urging for swift action to be taken. He reiterated his loyalty to the president and expressed his unwavering commitment to working harmoniously with him for the greater good of the nation. “In 2022, we spent $10billion subsidizing the ostentatious lifestyle of the upper class of the society because you and I benefit 90% from the oil subsidy.
“The issue of multiple exchange rates, we are going to collapse it into one. So these are two big elephants in the room and as the days go by we will be unveiling our agenda.
