According to her, the removal of the subsidy will likely take effect in June because the Petroleum Industry Act, PIA and the 2023 budget provided subsidy till June, hence any delay may require the amendment of the PIA and the budget provision.
She, however, said that there was no deadline given for the subsidy removal and that the incoming administration of Bola Tinubu will take decision on when possible to do that.
