Nigeria To Spend N103 Billion Monthly On Petrol Subsidy by Islie: 1:28pm On Mar 19, 2021 |
The pricing template released by PPPRA effectively shows the government has been paying fuel subsidy despite its denials. As it has become clear the Nigerian government has continued to subsidise the price of petrol, a PREMIUM TIMES analysis has shown the nation may be expending a whopping N102.5 billion monthly to reduce the retail cost of petrol. https://www.premiumtimesng.com/news/headlines/449936-nigeria-to-spend-n103-billion-monthly-on-petrol-subsidy.html

The pricing template released by PPPRA effectively shows the government has been paying fuel subsidy despite its denials"A single lie destroys a reputation built over many years." For a budding political party like the then emerging APC, they could have played opposition with caution and wisdom but not in our side of the world. They totally condemned the subsidy which was of course a major source of economic wastage without any iota of rational thinking even denouncing it as a complete fraud.Just as the case with the BH insurgency, anti-corruption fight among many other things. Fast forward to 5 years later, they are not only secretly paying(cum looting) same, but made it an official policy of government to brazenly lie to Nigerians about same. However, the unanswered questions remains: -1).Who approved the subsidy or alleged subsidy under-recovery funds the NNPC have been paying; the NASS or executive decision/fiat? -2).Why is the price of petrol and other petroleum products still high despite these payments with occasional unavailability of these products. -3).Why have the Buhari-led government been lying to Nigerians thereby insulting the sensibility of a nation they are governing? 37 Likes 4 Shares |

In 36 months that can effectively build a refinery like the mega one in Lekki and correct a lot of economic errors in Nigeria. No leader wants to do the reasonable thing(GEJ inclusive). 22 Likes 1 Share |

"..Nigeria’s former Minister of Petroleum Resources, Ibe Kachikwu,has admitted the failure of President Buhari’s administration to give Nigerians refinery as promised in the run-up to the 2015 presidential election...This subsidy thing is another scam or corruption loading.Kyari & Sylva should perish that idea.If after promising 4 refineries in its first term but only apologized for failure to fulfill same. Government once said it would hands off these from this subsidy issue by removing its hands from running these moribund refineries that are huge source of economic wastage.So what has happened? https://nairametrics.com/2020/09/10/fg-to-give-up-majority-stakes-in-its-4-refineries-to-be-privately-managed/ https://m.punchng.com/Editorial/NNPC-stop-wasting-money-on- "...For every kobo that is added to the price of petrol, Nigerians are further pushed into deprivation, want and hunger, because the resultant inflation erodes whatever is left of their purchasing power, and pushes more people below the poverty line.Therefore, Nigerians have over the years resisted increases in the price of the most important source of their socio-economic sustenance. …President buhari’s change of promise from revamping Nigeria’s moribund refineries and construction of new ones to achieve self-sufficiency in access to refined products to the continuous importation of petrol at prices to be determined by international market forces, is a betrayal of the trust of millions of Nigeria’s working class, urban and rural poor masses who defied all odds to vote out the PDP and vote in him into power...." https://opinion.premiumtimesng.com/2020/09/10/from-apcs-promise-of-change-to-buharis-change-of-promise-by-majeed-dahiru/ 9 Likes 1 Share |

Standing5:This is how we always get it wrong.Subsidy payment is a function of the FG as the regulation of petroleum products and pricing by the NNPC & PPPRC respectively is an exclusive right of the FG despite the denial. The government owes the nation an explanation on any change in policy regardless of changes in the global price of crude oil because there must be probity and then accountability without which the endless corruption in the NNPC with go on unabated. 6 Likes |

I don't understand, why is the govrnment paying subsidy with fuel at N165. If Nigerians weren't deceived then in 2012 when petrol sold for N144, Nigeria would have beyond this subsidy brouhaha by at least 7 years ago. I don,t trust this booohari banditry government, they could be diverting this N102bn subsidy funds into Bandits account while we foolishly look on down South. 11 Likes 2 Shares |

For years, the government denied it paid subsidy on petrol, yet it did so through the NNPC, which described the cost as “under recovery”. when a government / leaders keeps lying back to back to his citizens / followers then you know "it is finished" 3 Likes |

Racoon:If subsidy is removed and crude oil products are priced freely by market forces, the citizens end up groaning. The most reasonable solution is to cut out unnecessary middlemen adding their own cut to the final prices in a free market situation by building or maintaining efficient refineries. 6 Likes |

Racoon: At the end of the day, that is why we have bad refinereis, and all the sharp practices like smuggling...because when government is controlling the price of fuel, making a profit becomes impossible. The thing is, Nigerians support subsides. That's why no government has been brave enough to remove it. But eventually we would have to remove it for our economic surivival Venezuela subsidies fuel well well. Fuel costs N40 over there. Meanhwile they lost $18 billion annually to smuggling of fuel to countries that have no subsidy and higher prices. 2 Likes |

pretydiva: Nope. 1.Understand that so long as government controls the price of fuel, there is a subsidy 2.Subsides are what government pays to the marketers and importers of fuel to cover losses due to fuel being sold below the price of production and importation. Usually such money isn't enough. 3.What the government , past and present do is simple. Reduce the amount of money spent on subsidisng fuel periodically, which manifests as an increase in the pump price of petrol 4.Of course it isn't sustainable. 5 Likes |

Our Petroleum Minister is corruption in reality. He is a working epitome of corruption. The subsidy they have removed a thousand times is what they are still paying today. All zombies i am so happy they are buying fuel without subsidy at 100/L. When we said that this man have no common sense, no economic sense and certificateless, zombies thinks we dont know what we are saying. Buhari till 2067 |
