Ex-Lawmaker Advises NASS On Subsidy Removal
A former member of the House of Representatives, Alhaji Sa’idu Gumburawa, has urged the National Assembly members to resist the Federal Government attempt to remove the subsidy on petroleum, but Sen Jibril Aminu has, however, thrown his weight behind the removal.
Gumburawa told our correspondent in Gumburawa, near Sokoto that “they should do what the majority of Nigerians want as their elected representatives.
“The removal of the subsidy will worsen the present socio-economic predicament of Nigerians.
The removal of the subsidy is also capable of leading to the increment in transport fares, which will inevitably have a multiplier effect on the prices of goods and services all over the nation,’’ he said.
Gumburawa, who represented Kware /Wamakko Federal Constituency between 2007 to 2011 and former Board member of NAN, urged the NASS to do whatever they could to stop the move.
On the new minimum wage, the former legislator said that all the three tiers of government had the wherewithal to implement it.
“As far as I am concerned N18,000 is a far cry considering the current endemic super inflation but let them even implement it to the letter and urgently to alleviate the suffering of the workers,’’ he said.
Gumburawa, who also decried the rising cases of insecurity in the country, urged the various security agencies to be braced and more diligent in the discharge of their duties.
Meanwhile, former Minister of Petroleum Resources, Senator Jibril Aminu, in an interview, threw his weight behind President Goodluck Jonathan’s move to remove the contentious fuel subsidy.
He said only Nigeria’s neighbours enjoyed the more than N1 trillion being spent annually by the government in executing the policy.
Aminu, also a former Minister of Education, said the country could not sustain the huge expenditure for too long as very few Nigerians enjoyed the subsidy while the masses of neighbouring countries fed fat on the policy.

Dangote Refinery Resumes Gantry Self-Collection Sales, Tuesday
This is revealed in an email communication from the Group Commercial Operations Department of the company, and obtained by Newsmen, at the Weekend.
The company explained that while gantry access is being reinstated, the free delivery service remains operational, with marketers encouraged to continue registering their outlets for direct supply at no additional cost.
The statement said “in reference to the earlier email communication on the suspension of the PMS self-collection gantry sales, please note that we will be resuming the self-collection gantry sales on the 23rd of September, 2025”.
Dangote Petroleum Refinery also apologised to its partners for any inconvenience the suspension may have caused, while assuring stakeholders of its commitment to improving efficiency and ensuring seamless supply.
“Meanwhile, please be informed that we are aggressively delivering on the free delivery scheme, and it is still open for registration. We encourage you to register your stations and pay for the product to be delivered directly to you for free. We sincerely apologise for any inconvenience this may cause and appreciate your understanding,” it added.
It would be recalled that in September 18, 2025, Dangote refinery had suspended gantry-based self-collection of petroleum products at its depot. The move was designed to accelerate the adoption of its Free Delivery Scheme, which guarantees direct shipments of petroleum products to registered retail outlets across Nigeria.
The refinery stressed that the earlier decision was an operational adjustment aimed at streamlining efficiency in the downstream supply chain.
