Nigerians have continued to react to the scarcity of petroleum products across the country following plan by President Bola Tinubu to remove fuel subsidy from July 1, 2023.

According to him, he is taking this decision because the 2023 budget has not provided for the payment of fuel subsidy from the second half of the year.
