Gatekeepers News reports that the President gave the assurance during a national broadcast on Monday evening.
“We are also monitoring the effects of exchange rates and inflation on gasoline prices. If and when necessary, we will intervene. I assure you, my fellow countrymen and women, that we are exiting the darkness to enter a new and glorious dawn,” Tinubu said.
Recall that President Tinubu announced an end to petrol subsidy during his inaugural speech on May 29.
Following his pronouncement, petrol which was selling below N200 jumped to over N500 and has since increased to N570 in Lagos and over N600 in some other parts of the country.
The President had also during his inaugural speech promised to put an end to multiple exchange rates by unifying the exchange rate.
That promise was fulfilled when the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) on June 14 announced the unification of all segments of the forex exchange (FX) market.
In a circular, the apex bank said all FX windows are now collapsed into the investors & exporters (I&E) window.
The CBN had said that further guidance on the operational changes would be communicated to authorised dealers and the general public in due course.
