Sometimes i dont seems to understand the level of unseriousness and childish politics our government plays on us the citizens.Just when did the National assembly approved 161billion forwarded to them by the president to ease the tension of fuel scarcity and make petrol available to citizens during xmas and new year festive. the petroleum minister was promising hell just 2weeks ago that there wil be petrol abundant if the money is approved. but what do we see, money approved but queue is at its high increase. a shamble was displayed and a show of shame is once again ignited.,.... and may I ask where is 161billion naira.......

When they tell some of you to go to school, you will refuse. How can the money approved 2 weeks ago be for FG to buy fuel for the Christmas season. Do you think the fuel is refined at Oshodi? Do you know how long it takes to place order for fuel and have it delivered? Or you think fuel importers normally import and store fuel somewhere waiting for FG to go and negotiate with NASS to release the money?
.
The Money is additional money to settle subsidy not to import fuel for christmas, 2 weeks to christmas. Use your head.

You are as hopeless as this government who lies without an iota of shame. If you want to be the government's spin doctor on NL, try to be a good one and not a dummy. The president requested for additional N161billion needed to settle accumulated fuel subsidy arrears and to maintain "a steady supply of petroleum products, especially in the run up to the festive season". Isn't it unfortunate that after the spurious passage of the supplementary budget by the NA we are still witnessing queues, scarcity and hike in prices?

The money was for december bonus

ehmm ehmm, I think you are the wrong one here. The poster is correct, the government told NASS they needed the money to pay subsidy on petrol so oil marketers won't hold us to ramsome during the festive season, which was a good idea. So as laymen, we expected petrol to be everywhere during this period by that approval which did not happen. You will do us well to explain to us why we still can't get fuel.
