@FMINigeria i have a question for u, Pls let us knw who is subsidizing who, And break d figure down as to how it rose from 300 billion

@flybiggie We are deregulating the sector to grow the downstream sector for investment by the private sector to refine products locally.

@FMINigeria we are not fellow Nigerians. I certainly pay for my fuel, do you? #fuelsubsidy #occupynigeria

@FMINigeria FMofINigeria
@lloydatiku Atiku, I pay for my fuel. You need to know that the govt. has reduced the allowances of the national assembly members.

@FMINigeria what socieconomic group will gain the most from this. What evidence can we see to back up your answer? #fuelSubsidy

@FMINigeria FMofINigeria
@Lo_Journ It is the poor and unemployed, because subsidy is mostly enjoyed by the middle and upper class. #FuelSubsidy

@FMINigeria @richaluma what has Govt done to give them proper education #fuelsubsidy #occupynigeria

@FMINigeria FMofINigeria
@nonye85 @richaluma That is why we are interacting here now. The Govt has been engaging in various consultations just to educate Nigerians

@FMINigeria deregulation is a not a bad idea, but the timing is wrong,

@FMINigeria FMofINigeria
@emvince03 The timing is not wrong. At whatever time it is done, it might still be misunderstood.The economy is going down.

@FMINigeria FMofINigeria
@SapphireChic To be sincere, we do not have full details of his death. Nobody wants to lose a child. I feel the pain of his family.

@FMINigeria Mr. Maku 400,000litres of PMS is produced locally not imported why isn't that #65 #FuelSubsidy

@FMINigeria FMofINigeria
@Wiliamthe13th It will not expand the sector. N65 is an artificial price fixed by the govt. #FuelSubsidy
