The Director-General of the National Orientation Agency (NOA), Lanre Issa-Onilu on Wednesday urged Nigerians to map out survival strategies amid the economic fallout of the removal of petrol subsidy by the President Bola Tinubu administration.

Issa-Onilu, who is a former spokesman for the President’s ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), said poverty will worsen if petrol subsidy is returned, as being demanded by #EndBadGovernance protesters in the last week.

He said it is difficult to talk to a people who have for several years been let down.

He added that Nigeria need to promote the efforts of this government to ensure it survives without subsidy and also admitted the trust deficit between leaders and followers in the country due to repeated cases of broken promises over the years.
