Kaduna State governor, Nasir el-Rufai has dropped a bombshell.

He said: “We worked with experts and the World Bank and came out with a report on what to do with the resources which would be transparently explained to Nigerians.”

“In 2021, the federal government’s budget for road was N200 billion and in 2021 we were projecting to spend N1.2 trillion on subsidy and we saw the danger and I called for its removal.”

“We have a framework and the economic council agreed for it to be withdrawn because we had a clear plan on where the money should go which includes federal, state and local government for interventions.”

“It is still on and currently we are looking at N6 trillion on subsidy but go and check the national budget on infrastructure, health and education, it is not up to that and that does not make any sense. So, we need to end the subsidy.”
