The Federal Government, yesterday, said it would initiate a fact-finding process to determine the true state of affairs on the issues surrounding the removal of fuel subsidy.
Minister of Information and Culture, Lai Mohammed, who gave the indication, spoke following Tuesday’s pronouncement by President of the Senate, Ahmad Lawan, that President Muhammadu Buhari had not directed the removal.
Mohammed, while briefing newsmen at the end of the Federal Executive Council (FEC) meeting presided over by Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, yesterday, at the Presidential Villa, Abuja, was asked to shed light on the issue given that the 2022 budget has no subsidy provision beyond June.
Responding, the minister craved time to allow for consultations with relevant government agencies for a correct position on the matter.
