This comes on the heels of the recent hike in fuel prices in the country with a litre of petrol hitting benchmark of N700/litre, as Nigerians count losses following scarcity of the product in the country.

Mr Tinubu on Monday in his inaugural address at Eagle Square, Abuja, declared that there would no longer be a petroleum subsidy regime as it was not sustainable.
