The President said this in an interview he granted Bloomberg with the transcripts made available to newsmen by his media office in Abuja, yesterday.

The Nation: Petrol subsidy removal was suspended because it was not in the country’s best interest, President Muhammadu Buhari said yesterday. He said while removing subsidy looks good on paper, the human consequences cannot be ignored.
