Group Applauds Tinubu's 15% Fuel Import Levy for Economic Reform in Nigeria

The Coalition for Reforms in Nigeria (CRVN) lauds Bola Tinubu's 15% fuel import levy as a bold economic reform aimed at safeguarding jobs, promoting local production, and ensuring long-term economic stability. Dr.

Ebikem Edesiri emphasized that the levy is not punitive but rather protective of Nigeria's refineries against unfair competition from cheap imports. The move is part of broader economic reforms to reduce dependency on imported petroleum products, create new jobs, and enhance government revenue through transparent management of the new revenue streams.
