Nigerians Responsible For Fuel Scarcity

Governor Nasir El Rufai of Kaduna State has said Nigerians are the reason for the lingering fuel scarcity in the country.

Speaking on Channels Television, El Rufai said Nigerians must “face the truth” of ending the fuel subsidy in order to put a stop to the petrol shortage.

The Kaduna governor asserted that the fuel subsidy topic is not a partisan issue, adding that the fuel scarcity is due to the unsustainable and broken down subsidy regime that the country has chosen to maintain for the past 50 years
