99% of people commenting here did not read the article. I tried but couldn't finish it. I am better than people that would read only the headline and comment poo.

I am not a fan of subsidy. The essence of subsidy is to reduce the plight of the masses for the consumption of essential good, but the in the case of fuel subsidy, the effects is almost unnoticed.
Government should instead subsidize some of these costly CONDOMS. The cost of buying condoms here in Abj can get you one Olosho for the night. #MyOpinion.

Buhari truly has a lot of job 2 do in this country........just imagine the extent of rot in the system

I strongly believe in his integrity#

Has Buhari finally agreed that there is indeed subsidy?

In Baba's Voice " I dont know what is Subsidy" A heavy round of applause
'' As far as am concern.... what is subsidy? who is subsidizing who?" another resounding applause!

Shaking my Head!

And Buhari said subsidy is a scam.

Issokay

Fuel subsidy should be eliminated with immediate effect... It's absolutely not doing anyone any good.... It benefits only the rich who fuel their massive Jeep car tanks with 150litres while a poor roadside artisan only struggle to buy 4litres for his normal day usage. Now, with this simple analogy, who is fooling who?


NB..... I'm of the view that education at all levels should be 100percent subsidized and not premium motor spirit that benefits a few.

Good job by PMB

"Appropriation that the subsidy captured in the budget was only for the period January to September 2015". Why did Jonathan not pay the subsidy between January 1, 2015 - May 29, 2015

You are a village compound fool. Why not keep quiet if you dont have knowledge/sense

Subsidy should be removed.........but not in d manner in which gej did.

Because government is a continuum. Deferred payment is a norm in doing business with government since budget is usually based on projected and not earned income.

Good...Nigerians don't want the whole money..they just want change.

This is definitely a scam, how won't jonathan pay subsidy fee from january to may?

This same money APC want to repay? i thought they also paid one subsidy fee when buhari first came into power.

Am laughing on my toes. If this stupidity continues till January I swear there will be mass protest. No job, no money outside and inside, even there is low patronage and this stupid fools are escalating the subsidy money. Am smelling Mass protest come January 2016.

[b]Speaking on the development, the committee chairman, Senator Danjuma Goje, said the committee was disappointed to discover that the government was laying the foundation for another
precarious situation by failing to budget for the subsidy claims for the last quarter of the year. “We are concerned because we don’t want to see this kind of situation in the next four years again. We want to see that fuel scarcity is totally eliminated 24 hours a day and fuel is available to all.

“But we are disappointed to hear that this subsidy is only from January to September. With Christmas around the corner, it will be unfortunate that after paying this money, we will come back and face this
problem again,” Goje said.

Also speaking, Senator Adamu Aliero (Kebbi Central) said approving only N413 billion would amount to postponing the evil day, insisting that the October to December subsidy claims must be approved in the supplementary budget. “We don’t want a situation where long queues will surface again. We don’t want a temporary solution. We want the subsidies to cover up to December. This is unacceptable, it must be corrected. We must find a way to approve it as we enter into the Christmas to New Year period,” Aliero said.[/b]

The president who knows nothing about subsidy is increasing subsidy.

Good Observation!!!

Chai!!!



Let's see where this gets us.

Until the day they remove that subsidy we will continue to subsidize corruption. When the product was about $100 in open market they paid marketters huge subsidy now it is selling for less than $50 they still get huge subsidy. If not for the failing Naira, I see no reason for the price to go up again.

Can you suggest the manner you would want it removed?

My attention has also been drawn to the fact that FG has requested an additional 100B for subsidy bringing it to N513B for supplementary As a matter of urgent national importance, I want to ask our most distinguished Sen @benmurraybruce to inquire about this N512B on subsidy It is illogical and totally unacceptable that when oil prices have reduced drastically, FG is requesting 513B for Subsidy This supplementary Budget of N512B by FG for subsidy is the highest since the amalgamation of Nigeria in 1914. Dear @benmurraybruce It may interest you to know that even when oil prices were high as N100, we didn't have this big supplementary Budget

A government of saints, by the saint and for the saints.. a very funny country where the petroleum corporation does not charge subsidy but private marketers does.

I think it is high time you learnt how to make a complete sentence without GEJ's name. READ THE ARTICLE, THEY DID NOT SAY MAY OR JANUARY. THEY SAID OCTOBER THROUGH DECEMBER.
Criticisms are meant for readers not hearsay

TonyeBarcanista:
Nonsense! Why should we be paying over N800 billion a year to feed the marketers when they will end up selling the product at prices higher than the subsidised rate of N87 per liter? These men are defrauding Nigerians heavily. The open market price is N95-N100 per litre. Let's end the subsidy!



But why should Senate increase the money? What is their business? What is their interest that we don't know?

Bros. this is a government full of disgruntled beings

Omo, see billions oh...

Make sure the right amount is paid to the marketers to forestall any possible prank by them (marketers) to hold us to ransom.

Taaaa, there's no subsidy.

Buhari now knows the meaning of subsidy.
