Lai Mohammed Defends Buhari Over Fuel Price Comparison With Saudi Arabia by Gistusmore: 9:51am On Oct 04, 2020
Minister of Information and Culture, Lai Mohammed has justified President Buhari's comparism of fuel price in Nigeria to Saudi Arabia, in his Independence day speech.



Recall that Buhari in his Independence day speech said “We sell petrol at N161 per litre when same is sold at N168 per litre in Saudi Arabia; N211 per litre in Egypt; N362 per litre in Ghana; N362 per litre in Chad, and N346 per litre in Niger Republic. It does not make sense for petrol to be cheaper in Nigeria than Saudi Arabia."



The President's speech ignited controversy as critics insisted that Saudi Arabia have a higher minimum wage, standard of living and infrastructure than Nigeria.



Lai Mohammed however defended the Nigerian leader while featuring in a Radio Nigeria current affairs programme, “Radio Link’’ in Abuja on Saturday October 3. He said;



“Some people have asked why we should compare ourselves to Saudi Arabia with better infrastructure and higher wages. Our answer to that is very simple. Saudi Arabia has 34 million people while Nigeria has 200 million people. Saudi Arabia produces 10 million barrels of crude oil per day, while Nigeria produces at its best, 2.1 million barrel per day. Their population is about one-sixth of Nigeria’s population and they are blessed with more resources. Therefore, they can afford to pay higher wages and build infrastructure."

Anything Nigerians touch they will destroy. Nigeria's oil industry was destroyed when they started nationalization a good example was companies like British Petroleum and Barclays Bank when they were nationalized into African petroleum and Union bank, today where is African petroleum where is unionbank they are dead. Also when did government started national the oil blocks that was the end of Nigerian oil sector. Ford Nigeria to make a profit on its oil it needs to sell its oil for 140 US dollar per burial. Stupid Nigerian idiot will go and vote for a Nigerian again
