Ex-Buhari minister backs reintroduction of subsidy

Former Minister of Youth and Sports Development, Solomon Dalung, has expressed his support for the reintroduction of fuel subsidy in Nigeria. In an interview on Arise Television’s 'Morning Show', Dalung argued that the withdrawal of the subsidy has not had any positive impact on ordinary Nigerians, but instead benefited a select few in the government.
