Minister of Finance and Cordinating Minister of the Economy, Wale Edun has disclosed that the country’s decision to remove fuel subsidy and adopt market-based pricing for foreign exchange has saved the nation an estimated $20 billion. 

We call on the Finance Minister, Wale Edun to ensure full transparency and accountability in the utilisation of these funds.
