Wane farashi ne za ka rage farashin man fetur zuwa idan aka zabe ka, tunda ka yi alkawarin mayar da tallafin (subsidy). Shin zai dawo farashin da aka kasance kafin zaben 2023?

On fuel prices, I am not proposing a return to subsidising imported petrol, and I have not set out a specific naira amount I would bring the price down to. What I am proposing is a Production Subsidy Model: support tied to fuel refined here in Nigeria, including from modular refineries, that lowers crude supply prices or gives fiscal relief on inputs to local refiners. This reduces refining costs at home so pump prices can come down, without forcing refiners into losses. Imported petrol will not qualify. The subsidy will be capped and budgeted, funded from domestic crude sales, with costs published and payments independently audited, and government waste cut to help fund it. Global price shocks will be managed through fiscal stabilization buffers and oil revenue hedging tools.

On whether prices would return to what they were before the 2023 elections, I have not said that. What I have said is that I want the bus fare you pay every morning to come down, the cost of moving food from farm to market to come down, and for the trader, barber, tailor, welder and small business owner to spend less on energy. The goal is for Nigerians to produce more at home, pay less for fuel, and keep more money in their pockets, so you pay less, not that any particular past price will return.
