In addition to keeping a campaign pledge, he said that the decision was necessary due to the hardship caused by the elimination of the fuel subsidy.
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.
