I never liked the Buhari government.

The reality us that the 8 years of the Buhari administration completely messed up the economy, dragging it down and loading it with mountains of debt.

So, correcting it won't be easy. The 2 most painful reforms have already been implemented which are ending fuel subsidies and the unification of the exchange rates. These 2 policies will not only reduce waste but massively increase government revenues overnight.

It is also too early to judge things. Ministers have yet to be appointed. Who would be appointed as the finance minister is crucial as well as the next governor of the central bank.

Today marks the 28th day of this government. A better flashlight might be first 100 days in office.


You don’t implement such policies like it’s knee jerk. What plans are in place to cushion the effect on the people?
What are savings reinvestment plans?
Why not a gradual removal of the subsidies, why must they happen on day 1?, you want to kill the people you intend to save?
Where. Are the savings from diesel and kerosene subsidy removal?

I'll answer the question for you, no worry. As it stands now, Nigeria's economy is heavily dependent on the exchange rate btw Naira and Dollar because the economy is almost 100% import driven. Even the fuel that cranes use at the sea port to offload containers are imported and we pay for the fuel in dollars. Cost of dollar goes up, running cost at the seaport goes up which will eventually increase service cost.......trickle down economics!
That explanation is insufficient. Fuel is the worst example you could use. Nigeria generates its own crude and there's supposedly a refinery which should come into operation shortly and which, again, is supposedly able to meet the country's local needs. In effect, your explanation does not justify a near 40% increase in rates.

Buhari also warned about it.

Till now,to actionable plan on Subsidy removal.
Rather they are trying Nigerians opinion about increasing their allowances with the money removed from Subsidy

What actionable plan do you want to have when your country is broke? Does it not occur to you that the obligations on our reserves outweigh the national accounts? Do you not understand that every day without subsidy obligations frees up the cash we need for palliatives? Do you imagine that the money exists somewhere and the government is refusing to release it?

Most Nigerians didnt have access to the official rate of N465 to 1 dollar before. . We have been running businesses on black market rates. . So the recent increase in official rate has not yet affected us. . That is why you are not yet seeing many complaint. .

It is govt parastatals, FX bidders and travelers that will be affected by the new policy. . it will reflect into the end price for consumers marginally thou.

But one lesson learnt is that, Nigeria was a highly subsidized society now all subsidy is going we got to bear the heat.

They are talking about naira devaluation, you are talking about subsidy.

Then u don't know anything.

In America most of things there are subsidised. Petrol,food and name it.

In South Africa here,they have housing subsidy,unemployment insurance/subsidy,health insurance and many more alike.

In Egypt,the energy sector is 72% subsidised and to shock u also,they have food subsidy till this day.

In Namibia,there is what they called national electricity support tariff.

These are things u do for ur country to avoid impoverishing the people but here,u guys just talk without brains.


After all this,ask urself what do u benefit from ur country's wealth.

PBAT and VPS warned that difficult times lay ahead for Nigeria. They told everyone that they would have to make difficult choices. They were very clear unlike two other candidates who kept mumbling at low decibels saying nothing out of fear. In the end the people chose clarity over vagueness. This is why in one week PBAT was able to push through wide ranging and necessary reforms without a murmur. Even the TUC and Labour knew that they had no public support with a strike.

It's going to get even more difficult as the electricity tariffs go up in July. It is either this generations pays for success or their children do. Nigerias debt has come through. I am proud to belong to the generation that pays the price for a new Nigeria in our life time.

Oga you should elevate your thinking please. Yes, subsidies in a poor unproductive economy is suicidal but so is hyperinflation and.the failure of the government to act swiftly on inflation is the first failure.

If you are informed you will understand that there is a fine line between the slow down of the economy and the complete seizure/recession of the economy which will crash revenue.

Already productivity is being affected in many sectors as retail, construction, transportation and and energy are recording serious drops.

I said it before that if the government does not come out and head off inflation it will spread from energy into transport and then into soft retail. By the time it hits durable.goods and fixed assets then the damage to.the economy will become irreversible.

The bigger question is if the customs is transacting in dollars or naira? This is a very important question we should be asking, if the government itself can start dollarizing the economy. Last I checked, we spend naira in Nigeria, not dollars.
Customs duty is a % of the purchase price of the import item (bought in dollar most times)
For example, import duty on a car of $10000 is 40% of $10000 which is $4000.
Customs collect naira equivalent of $4000 since we spend naira and not dollar.
Other taxes, levies, charges on imported goods are calculated as a % of the purchase price (which isn't in naira)

But the car you are buying from abroad isn't it in dollars? So of course the devalued naira makes the car more expensive, so naturally duties which is a fixed percentage becomes higher too.

The headline is misleading. Customs didn't increase anything.

I would have taken your points in more detail.

Suffice to say NG suffers import led inflation. We are all going to suffer. No two ways about it. Painless recovery is impossible. Q is while it be V shapes ( how deep the V?) or will it be U shape ( saucers or pots and pans?)

Government needs to support responsive innovations e.g CNG and Gas optimisation. There is a whole industry waiting to be built out of post fuel subsidy oil prices. Support immediate short hanging opportunities. Fast.

You can't address inflation with monetarist policies right now because they won't work. It's import led. You won't help by flooding market with dollars, its unsustainable. You can't raise wages because most companies would go out of business or scale back = higher unemployment.

Only option is laser focus on responding to domestic innovation. Rest = hold on and ride out.

Sure, fuel was just a quick example I could think of. A more realistic example would be payment of expatriates that fixes machineries at the sea port, they get paid in dollars.

It is just a tactical move to raise tarrifs. It has nothing to do.with the exchange rate in reality. There is no reason why import duties should be denominated in anything but the naira.

Buying a car during this critical period, especially when on a tight budget, without considering its significant value beyond mere pleasure-seeking (hedonic reasons and women), is the fastest way to descend into poverty.

A significant portion (say 60%) of your money will go towards servicing a corrupt government and big-bellied customs officers. The rise in fuel costs per litre (Now N520) will increase your blood pressure.

Customs can't have a different exchange rate from the government 's own rate. All government agencies will adjust to the new official rate. They have no choice.

What those involved in car importation should lobby for is a reduction in the import duty.

Mr Buhari 's government increased it to 40% in order to encourage local production of cars, but 95% of car buyers in Nigeria can't afford a new locally produced car. So, the policy doesn't appear to be working.

Therefore, import duty should be reduced to 20% max until further notice. You are absolutely right. Best comment so far
