Fuel Subsidy Savings: SERAP Sues Tinubu For Refusing To Publish Spending Details
The Socio-Economic Rights and Accountability Project (SERAP) has sued President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for “failure to publish spending details of about N400bn so far saved as a result of the removal of subsidy on Premium Motor Spirit (PMS), popularly called petrol.”
The lawsuit was filed in response to allegations that the Federal Government had saved N400 billion in the four weeks after the removal of subsidy on petrol policy.
In the lawsuit filed last week at the Federal High Court in Lagos under the case number FHC/L/CS/1514/2023, SERAP is requesting “an order of mandamus to direct and compel President Tinubu to publish details of spending of about N400 billion saved as a result of the removal of subsidy on petrol on 29 May 2023.”
