The President has said that there was no provision for subsidy in the 2023 appropriation, adding that monies from subsidy will be channeled to other uses.
The House lauded the courage of the President in announcing the subsidy removal and asked Nigerians to be patient with the new administration.
This followed a motion of urgent public importance moved at the plenary by Hon Jimoh Olajide from Lagos State.
He appealed to Nigerians to be patient and support the decision of the President to deliver on his promises to the Nigerian people.
He said it is obvious that past administration had gone about the issue of subsidy illegally, spending money that has not been budgeted for.
He said the President was concerned about the masses and budgetary reforms especially in the area of health, food security, education among others.
