President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has proclaimed the end of the petrol subsidy regime in the Nigerian oil sector in his inaugural address. Subsidy has been a tool of mass immiseration and the enrichment of a few at the expense of the vast majority. The Bola Tinubu administration must make clear what it plans to do in the immediate to alleviate the suffering of the people and how it intends to utilise funds saved and channelled from the provision of petrol subsidy to other causes. His words could mark the first steps of our long walk back to economic solvency.
