A professor of Political Economy, Pat Utomi, on Thursday called for the return of subsidy on petroleum products.

He made this call amid the scarcity of the essential commodity as well as a hike in the price of petrol.

“The first thing to do is to recognize essential things that Nigerians need fuel for. I will subsidize those things,” he said to newsmen on Thursday.

“There will be a subsidy. The Americans have subsidy for Agriculture, it is a matter of where you direct it to.”

Nigeria is already struggling with higher living costs after government reforms to end a fuel subsidy and free the naira currency drove a spike in inflation.

Fuel scarcities have been more frequent since President Bola Tinubu removed the costly fuel subsidies that saw the government pay billions of dollars a year to keep the price of petrol artificially low.

Its price has since more than tripled in some states, with a knock-on effect on food and transport costs.

While talking to newsmen, Utomi blamed the political class for the pains experienced by Nigerians lately.

“Nigeria’s political class is responsible for the Nigerian misery. The political class has failed the country.

“Look at the choices we have repeatedly made, look at the kind of National Assembly that we have. The political class needs to come out publicly before the country.

“In South-East Asia, people will come out and do a humiliation from what the public has suffered as a result of the irresponsibility of the political class in Nigeria.”

According to him, people feel disconnected from the political class.
