Nigeria - Minister of Finance, Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala has urged in incoming administration led by Gen. Muhammadu Buhari to discontinue petrol subsidy, Thisday reports.
“This is a golden opportunity to do that. It is a highly political issue," she said.
"I think under the first time I was finance minister it would’ve been easier. The second time, it became a huge issue. So I do hope that the new government will tackle this head-on, because I think they’ve got the ambience or they can generate it with which to use, take advantage of this opportunity.”
For Nigeria to continue to move forward in her overall development trajectory, it will have to fashion out and embrace both an economic and a political consensus on her development going forward, she added.
