The old import subsidy regime was not merely a pricing mechanism; it was a black hole of rent-seeking, round-tripping, and monumental corruption that starved health, education, and infrastructure of vital capital… Restoring it would instantly sabotage the nascent renaissance of local refining, crush private sector confidence, and plunge the country back into chronic foreign exchange haemorrhage. In the architecture of modern political opportunism, few spectacles rival the breathtaking hypocrisy of Alhaji Atiku Abubakar’s recent policy pivot. To watch a self-styled statesman — who less…
