Former Head of State Raises Alarm Over Planned Removal of Subsidy

Former Head of State Abdulsalami Abubakar has raised concerns over the planned removal of fuel subsidy.
Abdulsalami, stated that the country is facing challenges on multiple fronts and removal of fuel subsidy will compound the situation.
