This is another ploy to increase the price of fuel.

Just think back on this administration increase the price of fuel ....reduce the price for some days then boom ita increase permanently.

don't fall for their ploy

If you read closely you will observe 3things

1... Buhari has succeeded in destabilizing NIGERIAN LABOR CONGRESS (NLC) . The meeting was between FG and ORGANIZED LABOR (OL) grin

2...5 Naira was slashed, means FG is subsidizing PMS again... When Buhari told us he doesn’t know what is subsidy

3... ELECTRICITY tariff wasn’t slashed ... meaning Buhari doesn’t give a damn if you have light or not grin

I HOPE I MADE SENSE

Modified: for those foooooools quoting me

The determination of electricity tariffs in Nigeria is carried out by the Nigeria Electricity Regulatory Commission (“NERC”) ...this doesn’t mean that the Federal Government (“FG”) can’t move in to fund the revenue gap or tariff shortfall, calculated as the difference between the cost-reflective tariffs and the actual end-user tariffs payable by customers.
from the public hearings and consultations, the end user customers are not getting a tangible improvement in quality and quantity of electricity supply ...we never agreed to pay increased tariffs.

How fine and okay you guys find I it easy to call people you don't know fools in public domain.. even if they spew rubbish while quoting you... I don't think that make you any better

I agree with your logic. However, I do not think this is novel or no other government has thought about this. The sincerity of the present government is in doubt.

Secondly, you cannot blame the common man opposed to the increased price because of its domino effect on other areas in the country. Other countries can afford to sell fuel at an exorbitant price because they are not really dependent on it and only use it for their cars. If electricity is stable, water is stable, Nigerians won’t really care if fuel sells at 500 naira. In developed countries, those people with cars are taxed more and people are encouraged to use public trains or buses.


Until we see some sincerity and accountability, I won’t blame any Nigerian for now.





Well, Nigeriens pay N374 for fuel, Benenois pay N316 and they are at our level....plus the profit that Niger earns from fuel has provided them with the profits needed to run their refienry well.

You may not like the high prices that subsidy removal brings...but if we keep on paying more subsides, we will end up with more loans, no incentive to refine fuel at home, and lose more forex...and there would be sharp practices like round tripping,smuggling and so on

All at the expense of the poor.

Plus, Nigerians are too lazy to hold our leaders to account for anything. We have to start doing it now.

That's because Nigerian governments and the Nigerian people like subsides. The right thing for Buhari to have done would have been to abolish subsidy from the word go. The market would have done its thing eventually, and prices would have gone down by now.

But because that means prices as high as 300 naira per liter, and since he and his gang promised N40 fuel....

Subsides are always tough to remove. No Nigerian government has removed subsides. All they do is increase the price of fuel to the level where they can safely pay a subsidy.

The economy is going to suffer. Because Nigerians like subsides.

And the whole price control thing is why we don't have functional refineries. No incentive to refine at home. (Unless your name is Dangote and now the BUA guy)



1.Power for the most part is in private hands.

2.Until recently, Nigeria was producing power at N53 per kwh and selling at N30 per kwh or less. Which meant that DISCOS and GENCOS weren't making enough cash to fund improvements. That's why six years after privatization there has been no improvement in power.

3.You opposed subsidy in your second point. Yet, you want government to continue paying power companies a subsidy, which is what is was doing from 2014 till recently. And it was incurring a lot of debt in the process.Loans were even been taken.

4.The road to better power supply begins with power companies being allowed to run at a profit. Running companies at a loss, while politically popular, is a recipe for more poor electric power supply.

After all, the reason why I can type this missive from my home is because Obasanjo allowed GSM companies to run at a profit...even when people were calling for price controls back then. The GSM companies made ginormous profits...which were invested back in infrastructure...and our internet.




Somewhat. You rightly criticized Buhari for increasing subsides on fuel...(after he Buhari hypocritically criticized subsidies too in the past...) and then at the same time you want government to make DISCOS sell power below how much it costs to produce, and pay them a suybsidy to cover the loss..which won't do so, and which would cause more problems.

Like most Nigerians, you don't like subsides, yet you want the government to pay a subsidy, and force companies to run at a loss.


God bless you bro. Detailed analysis. But nigeria factors wont let it work like politics, amd capitalist like taking advantage of every given opportunities and most of all nigerians believe everything must be free to d minimum level.

you have my support in the area of dwindling revenues under the Buhari govt, but on the rest I totally disagree with you.

No govt world over runs successfully on capitalism and its approaches without recourse to welfarism here and there.

A govt that has failed for years to fix electricity, blaming paucity of funds, yet brandishes brand new cars for politicians is not a serious govt. What deprives any serious govt from borrowing massively and investing in critical infrastructures (power, refinery, rail, education etc)? In Nigeria we borrow daily but nothing to show for it.

The problem with electricity in Nigeria is not the reduced revenue, but the sale of public properties to comprado bourgeoisies who stole from the state to buy state properties without zero knowledge or technical knowhow of improvement. They existed by corruption, bought public properties through shady deals and still needs to grow them through shady deal. A knowledgeable investor knows that for every undertaking, thorough feasibility study and possible line of growth must be carried out. You don't make profits without adequate investment.
