Lawmakers who had initially kicked against the bill now do a volte-face

offered little resistance to the planned removal of fuel subsidy, embedded in President Goodluck Jonathan’s medium term expenditure frame-work, during its second reading debate on the plan.

At the resumed debate on the framework, after two months of intensive lobbying by the executive, majority of the senators praised the plan. The senate leadership is seeking an urgent approval of the plan, to catch up with the House of Representatives who had partially approved the plan the previous week.

The title of this thred is misleading.

Maybe in the future, the Senate will or will not embrace subsidy removal, I don't. What I know is this: I also watched much of the debate on AIT today, and from what transpired, it's not possible or appropriate to draw that conclusion; at least not yet.

They not made any decision yet, they are still consulting
