The minister emphasized that the decision to remove the fuel subsidy reflects the administration’s commitment to fiscal responsibility and a focus on national progress. It is seen as evidence of the administration’s dedication to efficient resource allocation and preventing wasteful spending.

According to the minister, the elimination of the fuel subsidy is a decisive move aimed at directing resources to areas crucial for national development. President Tinubu’s goal is to strengthen key sectors such as healthcare, education, infrastructure, humanitarian aid, security, and other areas that directly impact the well-being and prosperity of the citizens.

“This move is not without its challenges, but it signifies our unwavering commitment to making difficult decisions in the interest of the greater good. It aligns with our vision for a Nigeria that thrives on efficiency, transparency, and responsible governance.

“Fuel subsidy removal is a crucial step towards a more sustainable economic future, and we are working tirelessly to ensure that the benefits of this decision are felt by all citizens.

“The President seizes every opportunity to affirm his status as the Chief Marketing Officer of Nigeria, consistently reiterating the message that Nigeria is open for business and investment and that the Federal Government will do everything to guarantee the sanctity of all domestic and foreign investment.

“The international shuttles are yielding positive outcomes, with expressions of interest from various quarters to invest in key sectors of our economy. President Tinubu’s engagements have not only highlighted our nation’s potential but have also demonstrated our commitment to being a responsible and collaborative player in the global community.

“Indeed, we have begun to see the tangible impact of these efforts with well over $15 billion in pledges of foreign direct investment (FDI) in energy, steel, defence, automotive, and other sectors.

On security, the minister said that Nigeria faces challenges of insecurity, particularly the menace of banditry, kidnapping, and insurgency.

He said that in the face of these threats, President Tinubu has demonstrated his commitment to securing the lives and property of every Nigerian.

“Recognising the urgency of the situation, President Tinubu has made the fight against insecurity a top priority of his administration, as contained in the Renewed Hope Agenda.

“Comprehensive strategies are being implemented to address the root causes of these issues and ensure a safer, more secure Nigeria.

“From the various reports we are getting from our security agencies, it is evident that Nigeria is winning the war against terrorism, banditry, insurgency, and other forms of criminality.

“For instance, the South-East Region has been stabilised with the degrading of the operational capacity of IPOB and the Eastern Security Network. You would recall that the Army recently launched an Exercise Code named “Exercise Golden Dawn III” in the South East to support other security agencies in the region during and after the Yuletide period.

“In the north-east and north-west of the country, the Nigerian Air Force has been very busy, with several successful airstrikes on bandits’ and terrorists’ camps and hideouts in Katsina, Zamfara, and Borno States.

“In our maritime environment, on October 25, the Eastern and Central Naval Commands flagged off a Joint Sea Exercise, Exercise SEA Guardian 2023.”.

The minister conveyed that the majority of this year’s supplementary budget, totaling N2.17 trillion, was allocated to security, and a substantial portion of the 2024 budget will also be dedicated to security.

This allocation is deemed necessary to acquire and deploy additional security platforms, recruit more personnel, and conduct training, among other initiatives.

Moreover, Idris stated that, to alleviate the impact of high transportation costs, the Federal Government aims to provide a 50% transportation rebate to five million commuters during this Yuletide season. Additionally, all train services will be free for all Nigerians traveling from Thursday, December 21, 2023, to Thursday, January 4, 2024.

The minister announced that the road transport companies participating in the 50% rebate include GIG (God is Good), Chisco Transport, Young Shall Grow, God Bless Ezenwa, and Area Motor.
