Then what did he direct because d Buhari I know has always queried d meaning of subsidy. The discordant tunes between Buhari and his appointees often confirm that he is not in charge and that we have a cabal at d helm of affairs. In saner climes for d Finance Minister to take an official position on such an important issue as fuel subsidy that has d ability of shaping d governance trajectory without speaking for d mind of d President ought to have attracted official reprimand or outright sack by d President himself. 13 Likes |

ironheart: Suffering nor dey tire you? Has any FG policy benefited the people, why do you think this one will be different? Moreover, how many times is the same subsidy going to be removed? Who told you removing fuel subsidy will stop corruption or looting by these wicked politicians? Corruption is embedded in the DNA of Nigerians. We are fantastically corrupt. 14 Likes 1 Share |

Lawan is just speaking in circles. The Petroleum Industry Act which was passed by the same Senate mandates NNPC to operate as a profit making organisation. Keeping subsidy meaning operating business with the intention of making losses! I don't anyone of us does that in his/her private business, so why should Nigeria? People like Lawan are the ones who set us backwards for political reasons. He would have been pressured by his people and as the idiotic northerner with no brain of his own to properly articulate why subsidy should be removed, he has caved in and so that he will continue to win election, he is coming back to Abuja to speak from the other side of his mouth. 5 Likes 1 Share |

At the end subsidy has to go. The government is just making more mistakes keeping subsidies TO anyone quoting me to tell me tales about 'subsidy being a benefit' and 'government is suffering us' consider this 1.We pay for subsidy from crude oil revenues, whose prices have not been stable enough or favorable to us since 2014 when the Saudis and the US decided to show each other shege. Even before 2014, crude has never been favourable enough to us 2.We spend billions subsidizing fuel, which is in turn sold in Ghana, Benin, NIger, Cameroon, even Mali....via smuggling. Fuel costs above N300 in those countries. Tell me, who won't smuggle the fuel...unless you want to build a wall around this country. And our Customs is funded from the same source as the subsidy which means not well enough (see no 1) 3.Subsidy is why the refineries don't work. Basically, prices are kept below the production price, and a subsidy is meant to cover the difference. Over the years refineries have not been able to make a profit to pay for expansion, maintenance, upgrades, etc etc. Staff welfare is paid from...crude oil profits. When refineries can't make a profit, they break down. Which is what happened by the year 2010, and which is why we refine our crude in bad refineries in Holland and Belgium so that we can keep it cheap, and have bad fuel. 4.And keeping on no 3...how much do you think we are going to pay Dangote in subsides, and let's also remember that production costs are not static. Yes, subsidy means that Dangote is going to sell fuel at a loss, and government is going to dash him money to cover the loss. And that money is going to rise with the rise in Dangote's production costs and debt repayment. Meaning more pressure on our already tight revenue (keep in mind we have 4-5 other private refineries and 20 more on the drawing board. All to be paid subsidy money to keep fuel cheap) 5.Our income from tax is not even enough to cover subsidy costs. 30% of taxable Nigerians pay income tax to state and federal government coffers. We use oil money to cover the deficit, and when oil money is not enough, we pay using loans and more loans from IMF to the Chinese. Keep in mind that right now, we cannot finance or budget well because of bad oil prices. And we already have to take a loan to keep up inspite of subsidy. If we want a strong petroleum and refining sector, one that not only makes profit, but exports and exports good quality PMS, we have to remove subsidy . If we want more jobs and investment, subsidy has to go. Paying for subsidy is basically asking for more loans, more deficit budgets, and more problems economically speaking, and zero refineries. The government needs to wake up to reality.. P.S For a clear understanding of subsidies and why they are damaging, I suggest you read this article 1.Fuel subsidies in Nigeria: they’re bad for the economy, but the lifeblood of politicians 4 Likes |
