He said that apart from fulfilling a campaign promise, the hardship occasioned by the removal of the fuel subsidy has made the move imperative.
The governor had earlier slashed university tuition fees by 50 per cent to cushion the current hardship in the country.
Many of the University students expressed joy at the development, saying the reduction in fees would greatly enhance their lives.
