Mele Kyari, Group Managing Director of the Nigerian National Petroleum Company (NNPC), has issued a strong denial of recent reports suggesting the continuation of fuel subsidies. In a statement released earlier today, Kyari labeled the claims as "fake news" and urged the public to disregard the misinformation.
“There is no subsidy whatsoever,” Kyari stated unequivocally. “The recent rumors circulating about fuel subsidies are completely false. We encourage everyone to rely on official sources for accurate information.”
Kyari's comments come amid a flurry of social media activity and public discourse fueled by assertions that the government has not fully eliminated the fuel subsidy, a key point of contention in recent months. These claims have contributed to public frustration over persistently high fuel prices and economic difficulties.
The confusion surrounding the subsidy issue has been exacerbated by ongoing debates about fuel pricing and the government’s handling of economic policies. Critics argue that the absence of clear communication from authorities has led to widespread speculation and dissatisfaction among Nigerians.
Kyari's statement seeks to clarify the government’s position and mitigate the impact of misleading information. The NNPC chief reassured the public that there is no active subsidy on fuel, despite ongoing concerns about high costs.
As the situation develops, both the government and the public are calling for more transparency and reliable updates on fuel pricing and related policies. The government has committed to addressing these issues and ensuring that accurate information is disseminated to prevent further confusion.
