Today in history:
Do you remember the 2012 fuel subsidy removal rally and
strike?
If you have forgotten, it took place from Jan 6-12, 2012. It got
to a peak on Jan 8, 2012.
Background fact
January 1, 2012, GEJ led FG increased fuel pump price from
N65/ltr to N141/ltr so that subsidy can be totally removed!
Voila! # OccupyNigeria protests erupted in Lagos and some
other cities. NLC, TUC, Save Nigeria Group, civil society
organizations, Nollywood celebrities, ACN and opposition
Politicians etc took turns to address the rally at Gani
Fawehinmi memorial park at Ojora, Lagos to denounced the
subsidy removal. The strike paralyzed the country economy
for about one week.
In the midst of the strike, FG backtracked and reduced the
pump price to N97/ltr after series of negotiations with the
Labour unions to call off the strike.
Fast forward to 2015.
PMB led FG said subsidy was a fraud, that there is nothing like
subsidy. They promised to fix the refineries, that Nigeria won't
import fuel anymore. Has it been done? NO!
May 2016, PMB increased pump price from N97/ltr to N145/
ltr, claiming Subsidy has been removed. No rally, no protest,
no strike from actors of 2012 strike .....even from
Nigerians! # Jazzed ?
NASS found out that FG has been paying subsidy
unappropriated!
Suddenly, the lid broke, FG was paying subsidy , despite
claims of its removal!
FG claimed it was Nnpc that was paying and not FG
NNPC says they are not paying subsidy, but it's "differential",
after more pressure from suspecting public, they renamed it
"under recovery" .
Oil marketers threatened to stop importation of fuel in Dec
2018 if their "subsidy" payment was not paid. FG quietly paid
.
Guess what, this year, subsidy funds is in the 2019 budget!
N1.1trn! .. as they are tired of defending indefensible
Question: Why are we not buying fuel at N97/ltr all these while
(from 2016) when FG is still paying subsidy?
Where are SNG, NLC, TUC, Civil society groups, Nollywood
celebrities, eminent participants etc ?
Who is occupying Nigeria today? Thanks for this piece. It beats me that some Nigerians can be so daft. Buhari is the biggest fraud ever and it surprises me that some Nigerians are stupidly blind and still follow this Daura thief  2 Likes |

Who is occupying Nigeria today? I hate when well informed people set out to deliberately misinform the public to score a cheap point. I am very sure that you are well aware of how the need to subsidise fuel arises. The need for Subsidies can arise a few days after removing the previous one if the the price of crude or the value of naira falls and the government is unwilling to do the right thing to avoid the backlash that comes with price increases. |
