The economy of the nation seems so helpless , this thing isn't funny again , Buhari has to go before it's too late .there is no sign of hope for the economy , the only thing we read about is loot and no conviction . Thank God he didn't win previous elections who knows maybe nigeria will be surviving on foreign aid . A drastic increase and harsh change in every thing in a year certainly can't be blamed on past administration .its gettin clearr by the day .

We left the rot in PDP to the cowardly deceptive antics of APC. No clear cut economic direction for the country as a whole. PMB is only working for the self-sustainability of the north only and nothing more.

You idiots are not equipped to comment on economic matters. The pain has not even started yet. There is no dollar to sustain our fake lifestyle and economy. You all were flying to Dubai, China and everywhere importing all sorts of nonsense and jagbajantis. Throwing away hard foreign currency away thinking you are balling. There is nothing anybody can do. The country produces nothing of value.

True but Buhari doesn't have the Character or vision to lead a people through such times ..such times calls for a visionary like Franklin Delano Roosevelt and not an visionless Dullard like Buhari

You are a highly reasonable guy judging by your reply. I apologise for calling you guys idiots. Truth be told we just do not have the hard currency we need to prop up the fake lifestyle we are used to.

Buhari is a very reasonable and very intelligent man. He has visions and ideas but the country has boxed itself into a terrible corner. The only available option is to STOP the importation and to conserve the paltry foreign exchange balance. There is just no other option.

It is a tough situation. Even If we assemble all the best economic minds in the world, it boils down to 2 things - zero production capacity and shortage of dollar to import or consume unnecessary foreign services like airlines.

We did this to our selves. Roosevelt inherited a country that was self sufficient and can produce its needs but the economy of the USA was badly structured and he sorted it out. In our case there is no REAL sector in our balloon economy filled with air. The balloon has popped!

DONSMITH123:
Aero Contractors Airlines, Nigeria’s second largest commercial carrier, has confirmed an exclusive report of The PUNCH by announcing the suspension of its scheduled services beginning from Thursday September 1, 2016.

On Monday, August 22, 2016, The PUNCH exclusively reported that the airline was set to lay off some of its workers due to its worsening financial crisis.

The report also noted that the carrier was in talks with aviation unions on how to cut down on the number of workers in its employ, after sources from the sector revealed that Aero was contemplating a suspension of its scheduled flight services.

Confirming this in a statement signed by the carrier’s management on Wednesday, Aero stated that the suspension was part of the strategic business realignment to reposition the airline and return it to profitability.

It stated that this “business decision”, which is a result of the current economic situation in the country, had forced some other airlines to suspend operations or pull out of Nigeria.

The management of the carrier said the airline had faced grave challenges in the past six months which impacted its business and by extension the scheduled services operations.

These factors, according to Aero, are both internal and external environmental factors that have made it difficult for it to continue its scheduled services.

It stated that during the period in review, Aero witnessed epileptic operations and services to the external public that were caused by non-alignment of fundamental issue of the business, which in some cases had been frustrating and embarrassing to all parties including staff, customers and indeed all stakeholders.

As part of its resolve to ensure the airline survived unlike most other carriers that experienced short life span in the country, AMCON had appointed Mr. Adeniyi Adegbomire SAN as Receiver Manager in February 6, 2016, with the aim of turning the airline around.

Since AMCON’s intervention in Aero Contractors in 2011, it had provided support for the airline to meet working capital requirements and fleet expansion.

These were to ensure the airline remains a going concern providing services to various clients and the general public.

But the airline noted that unfortunately, the operating environment within and outside the Aero had hindered any possible progress especially in the last six months when the naira depreciated against the dollar thus making it impossible for the airline to achieve its operational targets.

It started that with these realities coupled with protracted engagements with all relevant stakeholders, the management strenuously reviewed and assessed options and opportunities on ensuring viability, safety and sustainability of operations during the period with a lot of sacrifices.

The airline said, “The impact of the external environment has been very harsh on our operational performance, hence management decision to suspend scheduled services operations indefinitely effective September 1, 2016, pending when the external opportunities and a robust sustainable and viable plan is in place for Aero Contractors to recommence its scheduled services.

“The implication of the suspension of scheduled services operations extends to all staffs directly and indirectly involved in providing services as they are effectively to proceed on indefinite leave of absence during the period of non-services.

It added, “We are aware of the impact this will have on our staff and our highly esteemed customers, hence we have initiated moves to ensure that we are able to return back to operations within the shortest possible time, offering reliable, safe and secure operations, which the airline is known for.”

Mba o!

Buhari must rule till 2023! This is how his last reign was cut short and then Nigerians forgot how he dealt with the country with his gross incompetence.

If an apple cuts his reign again, tomorrow, some Nigerians in certain part of the country will repackage an incompetent despot and sell him to Nigerians as the next thing after jollof rice because, in our quintessential manner, we would have forgotten the past.

Sai Buhari till 2023! We must enjoy the change. Smh.

Oil price nonsense!

Oil has been selling at around $50 per barrel since the budget was finally signed in February- or before then.

The budget was designed around an estimate of $37 per barrel. That is a tolerance of over $13 per barrel for other eventualities. And this is asides other sources of revenue.

Any serious government will be able to fulfil its budget plans easily with that estimate. A SERIOUS government.

We should stop deceiving ourselves. A government led by an illiterate can be anything but serious. That is why people go to school. I do not know why Nigerians prefer the vain art of self-deceit. What were you expecting from an illiterate who is also a bigot and dangerously tribalistic?

Stop all these pretence, please.
