ATIKU SAYS TINUBU’S 30-DAY PETROL DISCOUNT IS AN INCOMPLETE COPY OF HIS PROPOSAL
Atiku Abubakar has accused President Bola Tinubu of copying the principle behind his targeted petrol-subsidy proposal while stripping out its production-linked features. He says the government’s 30-day NNPC discount offers only temporary relief, while his model would subsidize locally refined fuel, exclude imports and subject the support to budget limits and independent audit. The Tinubu administration says its intervention is a temporary response to global price shocks and not a return to fuel subsidy.
