The Federal government has announced that the Value Added Tax (VAT) on Automotive Gas Oil (AGO), also known as diesel, will be suspended for the next six months in order to ease the hardship felt by the removal of fuel subsidy by Tinubu's administration.
This was among the resolutions discussed at the meeting between the federal government and members of organized labour at the State House, Abuja, on Sunday.
