This online newspaper learnt that the removal of fuel subsidy is part of the country’s implemented regulatory measures to ensure stability across its downstream sector
This was disclosed by the Chief Executive Officer of NPA, Abdul Hamid during a presentation at the ongoing Africa Refiners and Distributers week 2023, in Cape Town, South Africa.
Abdul Hamid said: “We have removed subsidies and deregulated our markets. Industries were shutting down because the government was finding it hard to find the money to provide subsidies and to this day industry is being powered by investments in the private sector and there are no complaints of supply
“We are ensuring affordability and security for the vulnerable consumers through the removal of energy subsidies,” he said while speaking on more reforms implemented in the NPA.
