Popular human rights lawyer Femi Falana has questioned what the three tiers of government in Nigeria are doing with the money saved from the removal of petrol subsidies.

Falana said Nigerians are entitled to benefits from the removal of petrol subsidies, as the government has reported increases in monthly revenue that accrue to the Federation Account.

The Senior Advocate of Nigeria called for the Office of the Accountant General of the Federation to publish allocation details to the federal, state, and local governments.

Femi Falana also asked the federal government to ignore the advice of the International Monetary Fund to remove all subsidies, despite the economic hardship that citizens are facing.
