Senior Advocate of Nigeria and human rights activist, Femi Falana, has once again criticized President Bola Tinubu’s decision to remove the fuel subsidy.
During an interview on Sunday Politics, a programme on Channels Television, Falana argued that no country in the world has entirely eliminated subsidies, suggesting that the policy is both extreme and unprecedented.
“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.
