President Buhari has not made any decision to eliminate the oil subsidy for Nigerians, according to a phone conversation SaharaReporters had with Femi Adesina.

Mr. Adesina, the Special Adviser to the President for Media and Publicity, told Sahara Reporters that “those reports have not come out of the President’s Office, so I cannot confirm them.”

It was previously reported that President Buhari planned on carrying out recommendations from reports out of the Transition Committee, including the removal of oil subsidies to fund education and food for students across the country.

In addition to these recommendations, earlier reports said that President Buhari planned to decentralize and split the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC), to ensure the production and delivery of petroleum products is efficient and cheap.

Mr. Adesina also could not respond to rumors that President Buhari planned to run the Oil Ministry himself, to maximize efficiency and prevent corruption in that sector.

So if he doesn't know, na me go know? what is his job by the way this spokesman who has no clue about his principals's actions.

A very confused Government.


Now the old dullard is shouting that the treasury is empty and that there is no money. Very soon the monkey will be surpass Aregbe in blaming the whole world for lack of funds

The same way Aregbe the Refrigerator Technician kept blaming his inability to pay salaries on $20bn, on GEJ and Madueke ,on Oil price , on Bankers calling him a serial debtor.

The old dullard went to promise $100million dollars of Biafran money to fund Boko Haram Terrorists without appropriation or National Assembly approval.

We are waiting for 1=N= to become $1 otherwise i call President Mitchell.

Earlier Presidential Transition Committee had indicated that subsidy will be removed. This was reported in Vanguard newspaper of today, 22 June 2015. The Transition Committee is yet to deny the report.

Difficult to know what to believe again. Too many conflicting policy statements from the new government. It is not healthy.

ABUJA—President Muhammadu Buhari plans to totally remove fuel subsidy and use the proceeds for the provision of free and compulsory primary/secondary education across the country. The administration is also said to be working on unbundling the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation, NNPC, to make it more efficient in the production and delivery of products to Nigerians.

These proposals form part of the strong recommendations made by the transition committee raised by Buhari to work out a blueprint for his administration. Asked if the proposal for total subsidy removal had been discussed with labour, the source said that members of organized labour in the country were consulted by the committee and they made presentations on what should be done over the matter. The source said: “ Labour is part of the decision; they have accepted the proposal of fuel subsidy removal. “A committee is likely to be set up by the federal government to work out the modalities of what is to be done in that respect. “But the truth is that total removal of fuel subsidy has been recommended with adequate provisions for palliatives on free education and social welfare for the unemployed”, a member of the transition committee said.

This govt is confused

The President seems seriously pained that Nigerians are piling pressure on him to get moving.

Can't really blame the people, because the impression given was that immediately he assumes office, action will follow without any delay.

I do sympathise with the President, though. The man seems to be walking on egg shells, and he does not want to break any.
My believe is that President Buhari, should just get moving. He should go ahead and appoint his ministers, if it turns out that any of them is involved in past misdeed, he should not drop him, he should make an example of such fellow.

With the culture of corruption and graft that has characterised governance in Nigeria since Babangida's time, Buhari will have to wait till 2019 and beyond to get perfect Ministers, without blemish. Even, after then he still will not find enough to make up his cabinet. That is the bitter truth.

Do you now doubt Adesina?

The perils of addiction to propaganda.


It has seems nearly impossible to what is true or false.


$5M donation to fight boko haram, not $5B as stated initially.


Sales of Presidential jets, it was later discovered it wasn't so.


Buhari to remove oil subsidy, but not anymore as the news did not emanate from the villa .


SMH at the discordant tunes from the Presidency ...
