Members of the House of Representatives have thrown their weight behind the removal of fuel subsidy.
During Tuesday’s plenary session, the lawmakers lauded the government for the decision, while commending President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for his courage, asking Nigerians to be patient with the new administration.
The commendation and the appeal came on the heels of a motion under matters of urgent public importance moved at the plenary by Hon Jimoh Ibrahim Olajide from Lagos State.
It will be recalled that Tinubu after his inauguration at Eagles Square, Abuja as president swiftly announced the removal of the oil subsidy.
The decision had however been greeted by mixed reactions in many quarters as the immediate effects are now been felt with many oil marketers and filling stations shutting down while those selling fuel have hiked the prices to between N300 to N600 per litre.
