The Evils of Subsidy:
Adegbite emphasized that continuing with the fuel subsidy regime would only delay the inevitable and potentially lead to worse consequences.
He pointed out that when the subsidy was in place, it failed to benefit the majority of Nigerians, as it was often exploited by a few individuals.
Appeal for Patience and Support:
The CAN chairman made a heartfelt appeal to Nigerians to be patient and rally behind President Bola Tinubu’s efforts to build a better country.
