Nigerians, particularly social media users have welcomed the removal of fuel subsidy with shock and disbelief.
They wondered why President Muhammadu Buhari’s party, APC, which rejected the removal of subsidy during Goodluck Jonathan’s regime has eaten back its word.
Already, many of them have threatened to shutdown the nation in protest against the development, which has skyrocketed price of the product from N86 to N145 per litre.
They raised concerns that the latest hike in fuel price will surely affect everything, whereas the minimum wage still remains N18,000.
