A Benin-based artist, Nelson-Young, on Thursday, said that a responsible government would place a premium on the welfare of the citizens on any policy formulation. Nelson-Young made these remarks in Benin City, the Edo State capital while chatting with journalists. According to him, the continuous increment of fuel pump price in Nigeria by the government “leaves more to be desired”, expressing displeasure over the hardship faced daily by Nigerians in the face of the crippling economy. He commended the organised labour, civil society organisations and other human rights groups, who stood their ground before the Federal Government announced the suspension of the removal of fuel subsidy, which the government said gulps N3 trillion every year.
