According to Sun Newspapers, the NNPC boss said “that over N5 trillion has been expended on fuel subsidy between 2006 and 2012, a development which makes the fuel subsidy regime unsustainable.”
“Subsidy creates distortions in government revenue distribution as a result of round tripping and unnecessary carry over of expenditures every year in a way that is difficult for government to control or sustain,” Kachikwu said.
