Whenever they talk about deregulation in Nigeria they cite examples with what happens in other countries but they fail to tell us the social services of those countries.
They fail to tell us that UK pays their unemployed citizens and those underemployed. They fail to tell us that there is good transport system in Uk including train services. They fail to tell us that there is constant electricity where only those who have cars buy fuel. They fail to tell us that health services is free.
The only social services provided by Nigerian government is fuel subsidy. This is the only government presence and grants most citizens benefit.

Allow them to sell at whatever price they want and all the queues will disappear.
Prices of fuel has gone up all over the world but you expect these people to keep selling at a fixed price?
Not realistic.
In the US so.e are paying up to 5 dollars per Gallon which is double what it used to be.
I know It will be difficult for some but it's better than the present situation.

Deregulation is badly needed.

Satanic govt of SELF SERVING THIEVES AND BLOODTHIRSTY, BRAINLESS BUFFOONS!

Khaki boys are better than these useless, empty headed, irresponsible, dumb as Fvck scammers!

Re

The Diesel (AGO) sector has been deregulated long time ago. What did we see, continuous increase since then.

What about Kerosene whose without subsidies, is it affordable today.

Why should fuel price in Abuja be different from other states. Are those states not part of Nigeria?

Do your job and stop giving stupid excuses. Worse minister I have seen

So so lies and excuses...so its now russia n ukraine war.was even thinking they will say its boko haram n terrorists.
I tot the industry has been deregulated dor long but nothing to show except for continuous price increases especially for diesel n kerosine.
This country is lost since 2015!

Lies

These pathetic bunch of useless, power drunk scums will meet their impending Waterloo

Awon eleribu, mashanfani eda gbogbo!

Nig urgently needs a SANE, SOUND and COMPETENT LEADER l l

Deregulation is the answer, but the government and the opposition are both waffling and wobbling over the matter, because politics.

At the end, if you want no queues, remove subsidy, remove government money, make NNPC private, and see if those dead refineries won't come roaring back, and new ones won't come up in minutes....

Yes, high prices, but yes...possible increase in investment and jobs, and government saves money.

The way the discos came roaring back.

God forbid....

DISCOS are not deregulated. Their prices are set by government....

Sorry, but I don't support Obi either, or Atiku.

You people should stop supporting the old. See as we tried old man Bubu for 7 years now...and here we are.

Who do you want to support?? Person must sha still rule you. Better go for lesser evil

Mrpojj:

How many times do i have to explain that when government sets the price, there is a subsidy.?

And how many times do i have to explain that ye should take everything any government says with a pinch of salt?

A very careless cappin'.

Deregulation should have happened in 2012 but I'm sure you were among those that wanted to cut the head of Goodluck Jonathan.

My candidate did not win his party's primary (no, not APC, PDP or LP, or NNPP)...so I am currently looking at some of the small parties.

And no, all the talk about lesser evil is what got us some really bad leadership in the last 22 years. No thanks.

DropsMic:
Black man dey live near water yet him dey always thirst

Just imagine!
How can a Minister of State tell Nigerians that he was unable to do the right thing!
Who has the power to deregulate?
Who is in charge of Petroleum products and businesses?
Nigeria is the only OPEC Members still battling with this que in getting PMS( petrol), DIesels,AGO, Aviation Fuels, Fertilizer,etc, by importing them!
Every past govt have not been able to permanently solve this problems for the suffering people,like NEPA,rather by chosen to Import these items,we have created Million of job- Employments of the above Crude Oil -Products to the Foreign Countries!
Subsidy is a Scam and a way to deceive the people and the suffering Masses.
Truth have no further investigation!
God help us o!

This should have been allowed to fly more than 10 years ago while the economy of the nation and world was not this bad....

Well, there is no other way at this point! Labor unions need to be brought on board.

Somebody forgot that Minimum Wage in their country, which holds the title for the 'World's Poverty Capital', is still a miserly 30k!

1.Sorry, but in 2011, that's when I got awoken to the fact that subsidy had to go.

2.Yeah I did not support either PDP, ACN or ANPP or CPC then, but when ye see a good decision such as subsidy removal, and when it is explained clearly how it works as it was in 2011, then ye get convinced...

So, been backing subsidy removal since 2011. Sorry to disappoint you.

It's now that the word DEREGULATION has found it way to your empty heads. We had recommended deregulation since 2004 and because of stealing through the so-called subsidy you turned deaf ears. You are tired of removing non-existing subsidy now you are deregulating. Foolish, useless and idiotic policies killing the economy and suffocating the poor.

Who imports the fuel?

Aystarz:

It is higher than that of Niger, Liberia, Sierra leone, and the same as that of Ghana, Ivory coast, and all countries pay above N300 per liter for fuel.

So, that yer argument holds no water.

Subsidywise20:
Basically, fuel is transported to station via diesel guzzling tankers.

Meanwhile the same fuel is sold at a loss....

So, at the end, if IPMAN is not allowed to increase prices to cover the cost of transporting fuel...it would soon become unprofitable to sell the thing.

So either deregulate...or keep on suffering shortages.

What is the result of disel that has been deregulated? Have we started producing diesel? The ppl importing this fuel do not want it to stop. Who owns vessels that are shipping imported fuel? How can you as a minister say they are diverting what is allocated for Abuja to another place to sell higher? It means they can easily diverting out of the country to neighboring west African countries. The point is simple, without consequences the nonsense will continue.

It should have been, but Nigerians said no, like they always have done since 1993.

People only see price increase, not the benefits.

So you think the smaller parties have better candidates? Wait let me check Yaya Bello. Lol
All are still smaller evil. Choose one and support either small party or big party. They are all smaller evil.

Just participate in the process is all I'm saying. That's the most important thing

So, we sell diesel at a profit, only to lose that profit when we sell petrol below production cost...?

See, at the end, no one wants to build a refinery, refine diesel at a profit, and then be losing money from refining petrol because Nigerians want petrol at unrealsitic prices.

Until petrol is sold at a profit, it makes no sense to refine it at home. Even importing it and selling it below the price it cost to import it...as we do...is somehow economics.
