Dr Ibe Kachikwu has tried to share more lights in the recent removal of fuel subsidy by the federal government.
The subsidy was removed on Wednesday, May 11 following a meeting between the minister of state for petroleum and stakeholders of the petroleum industry.
Kachiku said the decision to remove subsidy and deregulate the sector was born out of necessity. He said the removal would open the market and solve the problem of scarcity.
