A young man shared a message from his company’s Facebook page, stating that staff salaries have been raised due to the fuel subsidy.
For a few days, Nigeria has been in chaos after the sitting president, Bola Tinubu, announced the removal of fuel subsidies.
Several fuel stations increased their petroleum products from N150 and N200 to N500-1000 within a few hours of the announcement.
The company’s director informed employees that their salaries would be increased beginning in June to offset the effects of the removal of gasoline subsidies.
Part of the message reads: “We understand the economic situation of the country, especially with the high transportation cost. We will try to augment everyone’s pay while paying this month’s salary at least to cushion the impact of fuel subsidy removal.”
