If Buhari, a retired general, couldn’t completely tackle insecurity, what do you expect from a president who isn’t a general? — APC presidential campaign DG Yari defends Tinubu

This is a pointer that Nigeria is not and cannot be insulated from the Global Economic Challenges, occasioned by the US vs Iran war. It’s also a pointer that even as we acknowledge the unintended hardship of the reform of President Tinubu, we are still having it better than many countries that are more developed and have more resources. If we stay the course, the second term of President Tinubu will bring stability, economic growth, more disposable income for families, productivity and prosperity.

Nigerians Will Pay Fuel Tax When The Economy Becomes Stable — Minister of Finance, Taiwo Oyedele Nigeria’s Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister of the Economy, Taiwo Oyedele, has said the Federal Government will introduce fuel taxes when the economy stabilises and citizens’ incomes can accommodate the extra costs. He disclosed this in an interview with ARISE News on the sidelines of the 2026 IMF and World Bank Annual Meetings in Bangkok, Thailand, explaining that the government would first consolidate its economic reforms, restore growth and improve household earnings. Oyedele said imposing additional levies immediately after petrol subsidy removal would have worsened Nigerians’ hardship. “You remove subsidy, you can’t immediately impose taxes. That would be insensitive. You push the people to the wall,” he said. The minister noted that fuel taxes account for between 20 and 80 per cent of petroleum prices in some countries, while several African nations impose multiple levies on fuel products. He said the proposed revenue would support infrastructure and help the country prepare for future disruptions in fuel supply. “Not because we want to impose taxes, it will be because those amounts of taxes will be dedicated into road infrastructure, they’ll be dedicated into building our fuel reserve, that can help us moderate prices of fuel products, if anything happens,” he explained. According to Oyedele, the arrangement could also allow the government to suspend the levies temporarily when necessary to cushion the effects of market shocks. “This is what more than 50 countries around the world, they were reducing the taxes, but we had no taxes, there was nothing to reduce,” he added. “There has to be an order published in the gazette by the finance minister, which means we can’t do it in secret,” he said. Oyedele maintained that the taxes would only be introduced when economic conditions improved sufficiently and Nigerians could understand the reasons for the policy and its expected benefits.

Look around you, and you can see the changes. New Smart Green Schools, primary healthcare centres, boreholes, better roads and more opportunities for our people. We are building an Enugu where every community can feel the impact of development and every family can enjoy a better quality of life. With the full support of the Federal Government, we have an opportunity to do even more. Continuity means keeping Enugu high on the national agenda, attracting more investment and building on the progress we have made. We have come this far by doing the work. Now, let’s keep moving forward together. 𝗧𝗼𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗿𝗼𝘄 𝗶𝘀 𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲.
