Diezani ordered subsidy removal –Investigation

Some members of the Federal Executive Council are irked by the role played by the Minister of Petroleum Resources, Mrs. Diezani Alison-Madueke, in the removal of fuel subsidy by the Federal Government on Jan 1, 2012. The cabinet members are said to be grumbling secretly about the removal of the subsidy amidst the serious security tension in the country earlier than the anticipated date. Investigations showed that Alison-Madueke, Nigeria’s first female petroleum minister, played a central role in the removal of the petrol subsidy on Jan 1, 2012 to the consternation of many of the ministers who were not expecting the announcement.
