The House of Representatives has called for the suspension of the removal of the fuel subsidy by the federal government. The decision was taken at a special session of the House held this afternoon Abuja. The meeting was shown live on local TV.
The members of the House of Representatives, while discussing the removal of subsidy, the 2012 budget and the state of emergency in some states, passed a motion asking the executive arm of Government to suspend the removal of fuel subsidy and allow for wider consultation.
The House also plan to set up a committee that will interface with labour while the strike is ongoing.
The Rep members said they heard about the subsidy removal in the pages of the newspaper like the rest of us. They claim they were not consulted before the action was taken by President Goodluck Jonathan.
Speaker of the House, Aminu Tambuwal said the decision of the house was in the best interest of the country.
“We have a responsibility to ensure that the government and the country is governed through due process and respect for the rule of the law” the Speaker stated
