Nasir El-Rufai, former governor of Kaduna State, revealed that fuel subsidy has been reinstated by the federal government, stating that the government is now paying even more than before.

Speaking to journalists in Maiduguri, the Borno State capital, El-Rufai noted that the measures put in place to mitigate the impact of fuel subsidy removal were ineffective, leading to the reversal of the policy.

While President Bola Tinubu initially announced the removal of fuel subsidy in his inaugural speech, El-Rufai expressed support for the policy but highlighted the need for necessary adjustments. He emphasized that despite the government's efforts, the impact of subsidy removal remained significant, prompting the government to resume subsidizing petrol.

El-Rufai underscored the importance of policy pragmatism in addressing challenges, presenting his insights on leadership and public policy at a capacity-building workshop for senior government officials of Borno State.
