Fuel subsidy removal: Nigerians protest
Thousands of people attended rallies in Abuja, Lagos and Kano yesterday to protest removal of fuel subsidy which heaved up petrol prices to as much as N160 per litre in parts of the country. The Federal Government on Sunday announced scrapping subsidy on petrol, with regulator agency PPPRA fixing the price per litre at about N144, up from N65.
