The National Publicity Secretary of the African Democratic Congress, Bolaji Abdullahi, has criticized Finance Minister Taiwo Oyedele for lacking the appropriate educational background to evaluate the fuel subsidy issue. Abdullahi made this assertion during an interview on Channels Television’s Politics Today, in response to the Federal Government's announcement of a 30-day discount on petrol prices.
Oyedele had revealed that the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL) would be offering a reduction in the cost of petrol for the ensuing month. Abdullahi expressed his thoughts on the matter, stating, "I'm not saying Oyedele is incompetent, but I think he doesn’t have the right education because the issue of subsidy is ideological, and we have to understand where you are coming from.
He's an intelligent guy, and I respect him for that. However, the way an accountant views the economy is different from the way an economist does, and vice versa."
