The Federal Government has reassured that the pains being experienced by Nigerians over the recent removal of fuel subsidies will be temporary.
The Minister of Information and National Orientation, Alhaji Mohammed Idris gave the assurance in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria in Abuja.
He explained that it was obvious that the ultimate benefits of the removal of the subsidy would be reaped by the common man.
Idris said it was regrettable that only a few people were, hitherto, benefitting from the subsidy regime, adding that the few were enjoying the commonwealth of the entire country at the expense of the majority.
“So, President Bola Tinubu said he would not be part of that. He stands with the majority of Nigerians. Although the removal will be painful at the beginning, it will be better for all of us at the end,” he said.
The minister explained: “Fuel subsidy removal is like the pregnant woman due for delivery and in labor; when she is in labor pains, she will feel and prefer she never had the opportunity to bear a child. However, after the child is delivered, the woman will hold her baby, smile, le and, become the happiest woman in the world.
“I think, that analogy can be applied to this issue of fuel subsidy removal. So, the pains will be temporary, but in the end, we will be better for it; that is what President Bola Tinubu believes in, and that is what he is preaching”.
