How much will NNPC be selling a litre? Are we going to buy locally refined fuel from government refineries for 145 naira?

oloriooko:

How can you commend a govt that vehemently opposed the removal of same subsidy by previous regime?
The unfriendly effect of this removal would have been overcome by now and the govt would have had enough to cushion the effect. So in effect APC shot itself in the foot by opposing something that was too important to our economic development.
Please whenever we support any party we should be objective rather than being gullible followers, these politicians have taken us for rough rides too long.

The worst part is that the marketers have to source for their dollars themselves so the price could go up if dollar rises. We are finished

Thunder will strike those who cooked up the hard coming reality that would have been a thing of the past if de fraudsters in APC had allowed GEJ do away with the subsidy. And must all vital decisions that affect the country be made when the President is out of the country.

The statement was well worded. It was a euphemic way of announcing the removal of fuel subsidy. It is so disheartening that we would have long gone past this if today's proponents of subsidy removal had not opposed the policy four years ago. I hope Nigerians can see clearly how they were fed lies to stir up their anger against Jonathan.
It is the way to go, but Nigerians need to ask those who came up with the policy why they resisted the removal four years ago.
The APC must apologize to Nigerians, particularly families of those who lost their lives during the subsidy protests. It is the only way of showing contrition for misleading millions of people.

JuanDeDios:

I was against subsidy removal four years ago but have since changed my mind. What's your point? Besides GEJ institutionalised corruption - that's another reason for opposing it then.

MeAboki:


You are still ignoring the basic realities between the two circumstances before Jonathan and Buhari and therefore my point:

Jonathan had surplus money to support the subsidy and therefore had no justification for removing it; while Buhari doesn't have that kind of money to maintain it and is therefore justified in removing it.

drsmith1:
GEJ"s opposed decision of fuel subsidy was an irrational one..this one is a timely decision to save the present fuel situation

TheDavidAbraham:
The removal of subsidies of any kind is always a smart economic move. We must not be short-sighted, and give in to the pull of immediate gratification.

KissCODE:
i am a fan of total removal of subsidy anytime anyday but what is disturbing me here are these:
1- why did APC ask GEJ to reduce the pump price of PMS because crude oil was crashing during electioneering?
2- GEJ sold PMS @ #140 when he anounced subsidy removal then crude was at about $100 why do we have to buy @ #145 now crude saled @ about $41?
3- when price of goods goes up cos of this, will salaries be increased especialy now that many states arefinding it difficult to pay salaries?
4- why did APC has to wait until budget is signed into law before finally giving us a piece of their mind?

Let me see what those who vilified GEJ in 2012 are
Wole Soyinka, Tunde Bakare & save Nigeria group.
Just waiting to hear from them.

What?!? So why can't CBN sell forex to only registered importers at the official going rate of $199 or so and ensure that what is sold to them is what is brought back in product wise? N145 per litre? How do they even expect to control d bloody "band"?
Where is NLC when u need them?
Chei and to think I was part of the subsidy trek that day to freedom park!

OBJ two days ago said he left 13Billion and that GEJ left 30Billion. Meanwhile PMB says nothing was left. Abeg how do we verify this claims.
