The National Association of Nigerian
Students (NANS), Monday, warned the President
elect, Gen. Muhammadu Buhari against any
attempt to remove fuel subsidy, saying such
action would be vehemently resisted.

Similarly, it called on the out going President
Goodluck Jonathan not to assent to the budget
when it gets to his table, if there was no
provision for fuel subsidy in it.

In a statement signed by its Public Relations
Officer, Com. Nwanko Ezekiel, in Abuja, the group
said removing fuel subsidy was anti-people.
The statement said NANS took the decision a
fter
wide consultations with the majority of its
affiliate member unions, all its structures as well
as past leaders.


“We enjoin the National Assembly to have another
look at their approved budget and make provisions
for fuel subsidy before forwarding it to the
President for his assent.

“The incoming administration has said so much
about blocking leakages and we believe that the
subsidy provisions are not part of the leakages to
be blocked.

“The subsidy is almost the only benefit the poor
Nigerian masses derive from our abundant
petroleum resources.

“We hereby remind the government that in 2012,
Nigerians rose in unison against the removal
leading to the ‘Occupy Protest’ that almost
crumbled our national economy,’’ it said.

Nwanko maintained that Nigerian students were
ever ready to once again be in the fore front of
agitation against removal of fuel subsidy and
would not shy away from such responsibility.

According to him, Nigeria’s economy was still a
mono economy; solely dependent on oil, and any
increase in price of fuel would trigger hyper
inflation and hardship.

He called for diversification of the country’s
economy and broaden the foreign exchange
earnings.

We are watching!

Experts have argued that removing the subsidy will allow private sector move into the petroleum industry and develop refineries.

But I think the fuel subsidy should be removed when the private refineries are ready to start production so that we stop some cabal from importing finished petroleum products into Nigeria.

Students should go sit down and learn. This particular issue is beyond NANS
