Subsidy Removal: Hold governors, LG chairmen accountable — FERMA chairman
…Babayo says states, LGs received trillions in additional allocations By Henry Umoru ABUJA — Chairman of the Board of the Federal Roads Maintenance Agency, FERMA, Dr Musa Babayo, has backed the removal of petrol subsidy by President Bola Tinubu, urging Nigerians to hold their governors and local government chairmen accountable for the additional resources accruing to them from the reform.
He argued that the impact of economic reforms could not be addressed exclusively by the Federal Government, noting that many services that directly affect citizens’ daily lives depend substantially on state and local governments.
Babayo warned against attributing every hardship experienced by Nigerians to subsidy removal while ignoring the significant increase in revenues available to state and local governments following the reform.
