President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, on May 29, during his inauguration, announced the removal of fuel subsidy, many citizens greeted the action with commendations, but others weighed the effects of the removal on the masses.   After the removal,  the pump prices of petroleum products skyrocketed, with some filling stations selling petrol for btween N500 and N700, depending on which side of the country one resides in. However, the sector is not left out of the subsidy removal’s negative effects, with private school owners, especially, claiming they had started making adjustments in their operational costs. National Association of Proprietors of Private Schools (NAPPS) National President Mr. Yomi Otubela said the removal of fuel subsidy would spike an increase in tuition. Otubela added that the removal had pushed up the cost of running schools. He noted that its effects did not only affect private schools, but cut across the sector.
