Why I want to restore fuel subsidy — Atiku

Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has explained his stance on restoring fuel subsidy if elected president in 2027, as reported by the Punch. He stated that Nigerians have yet to see how the money saved from the removal of the subsidy has been used, and questioned where it went. Atiku argued that the funds should have been deployed to improve the welfare of Nigerians, particularly by reducing poverty and supporting education.

He also linked his position to youth unemployment and the need to provide young Nigerians with opportunities to become economically independent.
