Asking Nigerians to disregard unfounded rumours, Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, Tope Ajayi stated: "There is no plan to reintroduce any form of fuel subsidy. There is no condition to support any increase in prices at this time. President Tinubu is convinced based on information before him that we can maintain current pricing without reversing the current deregulation policy by swiftly cleaning up existing inefficiencies within the midstream and downstream Petroleum sector.”
