Subsidy: We will not aggravate sufferings of Nigerians – Senate
January 8, 2016.
The Senate on Thursday said it would not take any decision on oil subsidy that would aggravate the suffering of Nigerians.
Spokesperson of the Senate, Sen. Aliyu Sabi, stated this in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN).
Sabi said that the upper chamber had not taken a decision on removal of subsidy, adding that the chamber would not support any move that would put further pressure on Nigerians.
“As much as I will say, the senate has not come up with a position on that (subsidy removal); if you we are going to remove subsidy or increase Value Added Tax (TAX), we must strike a balance.
