Most Nigerian are unreasonable in commodity pricing, they are on the exploitation campaign. This is subject to a lot of uncertainty but the removal must be done. The government will have a lot of money at hand to spend with the removal.

We have to close mark the state governors as they will become wasteful due to surplus funds.

It will make a lot of sense if Dangote refinery can also come on stream. It will help to control the prices as transaction will be in niara.

You sound too enlightened not to know dangote refinery is already on stream, update your knowledge ASAP cheesy

Looking at how subsidy removal may cause hyper-inflation what is the possibility of those lesser Nigerian currency surviving because fuel at almost 750/litres may aswell wipe out #20 downward. This subsidy of a thing is getting real.
Imagine life after subsidy removal.
It's N450 max using the dynamics of the past few years

Nothing significant. Kerosene subsidy was removed, we did not die. Diesel subsidy was removed, heaven did not fall. Cooking gas subsidy was removed, we all moved on. Naira is not tied to Fuel nor it's subsidy thereof.

There will be no hyper inflation as many predict. What causes the rise in price of commodities in this regard is mostly the haulage fare. Haulage is done largely with diesel and the effect has already been felt for some months now when naira fall pushed the price of diesel up.

What will happen is a mild rise of inflation orchestrated by rise in the cost of transportation. The effect will not be too significant

Make una dey there dey play. Una just dey play with Nigeria and Nigerians. Shay na petrol subsidy hold Nigeria federal government from achieving any sensible thing since 1960(especially the ones since 1999)? With all the trillions wey Nigeria government done control for this country since 1960( especially the ones since 1999), subsidy or no subsidy, Nigeria suppose done pass this stage wey we dey so.

I just dey laugh most of una wey think say una sabi too much. Subsidy removal or no subsidy removal, nothing will change. Subsidy removal will not make any difference in Nigeria, the government will still embezzle the money just have they have always done from day one.

Nor be fuel subsidy hold Nigeria from having those good things, but embezzlement of public fund made for them. And if those embezzlement nor stop, removing of subsidy or not will still not make any difference.

Yes they could have those things because they dont waste billions on petrol subsidy....they instead have effective transport system thats affordable.
The moment we stop petrol subsidy, some of these things will become achievable

One gullible fellow spotted.

Is it today people like you started trusting Nigerian politicians?

You're either very young or new to Nigeria.

Surely, you'll be disappointed at the end, after realizing the money will be diverted to personal use while the people suffer for nothing.

There's no reason for a 3rd world country with about 133million poor citizens to completely remove subsidy when the rich western countries have one form of subsidy or the other for their citizens

Subsidy should be removed completely.

I do not think you realize how wasteful the subsidy regime is and how it hamstrings the nation's development path.

I'll try to keep it short.

We're subsidizing gasoline for the West African sub region. We are not that rich. This has created a rent-seeking racket for the suppliers.

Additionally, this created a favorable climate for a different racket in the refinery space where we spend billions every year for retrofits, compensation, and what low-volume products that are churned out are subsidized as well.

Not to mention the horror show that is our electricity situation. It is allowed to fester because there's subsidized gasoline. The electricity rates are also subsidized to be lower than the already subsidized gasoline price to stay competitive, creating a funding bottleneck for faster development of a sector that is capital-intensive.

No one can solve any of these problems in isolation. The only way to halt smuggling at the borders and cut the "consumption rate" is to remove subsidy. You can arrest 100 people involved in these schemes and 100 more will replace them in an hour. Subsidy removal will create the knock-on effects to make this country operate more efficiently. The true cost of subsidy is not 4 TRILLION a year. It's at least double that.

The 5K for 10m households World Bank-banked scheme is a disaster. But spending $800m this year so we don't spend $8b per year sounds like a fair deal.

Sounds like the only way to push Nigerians off their a$$ to demand better representation is to remove guardrails. I'm all for it.

The Nigerian government subsidizes a ton. Tax enforcement is a joke. Education is subsidized. Train tickets are subsidized. I could go on.

-Lord

Yes, we expect Dangote refinery to come up to assist and that's why Fed Govt bought into it, and this was achieved by buying 20% of its shares, and signing agreement to sell 650,000 barrels per day of crude oil to Dangote refinery in Naira while Dangote refinery would also sell to Nigeria market in Naira in return and not in Dollars.

I can see our currency (Naira) regaining its strength bcoz according to NBS, 65% of our foreign exchange earnings is spent on importation of fuel.

In addition, the Tinubu that I know would make a very big difference in the running of the economy.

I said this bcoz, right from the time of Obasanjo, Fed Govt watched industries folding up without assisting them to survive. The resultant effect is the unemployment we're witnessing today.

Tinubu has recovery plans for our ailing industries and to bring in others to establish industries.

May God guide our leaders to the path of a prosperous Nigeria.

What many of you is failing to understand that the major reason for inflation isn't really the increase in price of fuel but our very selfish market women who hike prices and want to make 100% or more profit. Down south we hike things for no damn reason, a #50 increase in fuel results in astronomical increase that's not commensurate with the increase in fuel and further more they make this increase per unit of the item. If we don't become reasonable and help ourselves after subsidy is removed vices like pickpocketing and burglary will be on the increase.

Yes, Government will have lots of money to spend but the questions is will it be spent on education, roads, electricity, security, infrastructural development? or it will still end in the hand of few individuals that will keep enriching themselves ? i wish they will have developmental plans and execution plans for those monies

you see those market women . They are the real problem

It seems they have a union that decide how much increase in price of a commodity in a month. The increase isn't a one off, they do it incrementally so people still buy without paying much attention to it. This method helps them to attain their goal to make an increase within a minth for any commodity for as much as they want. Let's say they want to increase price of a commodity from #2000 to #2500, they know people will kick again that or not buy at all so they increase the price by #100 or so every market day; by the end of the month they commodity will be at #2500. This tactic is the reason why so many commodities in the market increase almost everyday. Like I said if the market women don't become reasonable they'll also be affected as people won't even have enough to buy these items, just like what's happening to poultry farmers with eggs. Again we need to help ourselves, dark times ahead
