Subsidy corruption is over, we hope.

congrats to infrastructural project corruption and every other corruption. RIP to petrol subsidy corruption.

blowjohn:


If he keeps quiet even u will not know why the queues are everywhere.

Let him be open and carry us along.

U can see that people have started hoarding the fuel. Nigerian citizens are very greedy and heartless people when money is involved.

Well, it won't last long

It will actually for the following reasons :

NNPC currently has low quantity in the country

Dangote refinery will not produce till early next year

TINUBU hasn't put his petroleum team in place yet so everything in that sector is running on auto pilot as we speak

This is Genesis, by the time he gets to exodus, your eyes will open but I pray that it will not swallow some believer of BAT. 😂 😂

SalamRushdie:


Okay fine then

I only pity the financially-disadvantaged Nigerians

Guys the President statement is a policy thrust on fuel subsidy. Accordingly, the relevant government agency should apply maximum sanction on licensee or marketers hoarding petroleum products and profiteering. In either case consequent management applies.

MisterBanny:

Exactly

nairalanda1:


The subsidy removal announcement has been there for months, ever since the past government said that they won't fund the subsidy beyond June.

At the end, Tinubu just confirmed what has been old news. He won't continue the funding.

Oga, you want us to borrow again to fund subsidy? Shey you know that Obi and Atiku too were saying that subsidy has to go in their campaign.?

God knows I hate this new APC government, but on subsidy we got to face the reality, or we keep lying to ourselves at the expense of a growing deficit.

How many times have they removed subsidy? Did buhari not say there is nothing like subsidy? Have previous governments not removed it? Subsidy is a government scam on the citizens in Nigeria.

SalamRushdie:


He resumes at the office tomorrow, he has only been sworn in ..

Na tomorrow he go show up fro office

There is no sin in making a critical policy statement the day you are sworn in.
Buhari announced the movement of the theatre command fighting insurgency to the NE the day he was sworn it.
He never waited till he resumed.
Let us leave semantics of sworn in and resumption aside.

Why announce when none of the refineries is working? Or they hope to use dangote refinery as naija own?
Wen NLC and TUC starts to protest now, they will call n tag it another thing from the east...
Its not a good way to start a govt that has a divided populace!

XtraFortunes:


How many times have they removed subsidy? Did buhari not say there is nothing like subsidy? Have previous governments not removed it?

It's called a partial removal, yes the government was lying then....and that is why fuel no longer costs 15 kobo per liter as it did in 1981.

And government does that to reduce subsidy costs.

Finis.

The ONLY thing I will always ask of from Nigeria leaders is give me either light or fuel
And let there be motorable road

I know they're all corrupt and here to loots and makes life difficult for the poor masses

Any filling station that hoard fuel without selling it out there license should be seized.....



Nigerians always trying to take advantage of everything....


Some month back Ghana remove Subsidy no single queue like this or fuel scarcity in derr country buh Nigeria greedy people everywhere....

@bold:

While this new government is not my cup of tea, the bold part of your post are the major issues.

What is bad in him having a supplementary budget to cater for that?
The same man that told us Jonathan was lying about subsidy

inoki247:




Like the Obi and Atiku y'all worship didn't say they won't remove Subsidy or you think 2023 budget comes with budget for subsidy....


No be say you guys really love the country is just that you hate it when the person dishing out the policy is not who you love.....

That is different from this .. Tinubu made some good statements today one of which he said he will create 1 million jobs , that's positive even though he hasn't done it it will encourage Nigerian and the market but that subsidy announcement today was poorly thought out , he should have left it out today completely at least till he sets up his petroleum team. , If I was the one I won't even speak about , people will just notice new pump prices

Dangote already said they will start producing I'm July. They will get their crude frm nnpc.

Look it up frm google

Why will their license be seized? They bought the fuel with their money, if they like, they sell if not they keep. Subsidy has been removed, it is private business with private money.

SalamRushdie:


He should have just kept quiet

One of the characteristic of someone that talks to much,he can't keep quiet.

Bobloco:


Oga stop typing gibberish

Tinubu, from day one has already thrown the entire country and its citizens into suffering

Na only you go suffer till death until you learn to see good in things and others. Otherwise your suffering go happen on earth and den go hear am for heaven

A welcome present from the Tinubu adminstration . I remain hopeful that he surprises me though

U know tinubu already had the subsidy thing planned out. That's why he spilled it out.

He's someone that's into the know in the oil industry

My mind is free , I am a strategist so I like to make calls , I remember I warned here 8 years ago that Buhari will achieve nothing after studying his early decision and I was right , bad action beget bad result it has nothing to do with me looking for bad news ..How can your first action less than 13 hours of inauguration is to trigger a needless fuel scarcity

SalamRushdie:

Someone that has a runny mouth keep quiet? You are very funny.

part one of tinubu suffering have started I told them they refused

SalamRushdie:


We know we have to face reality , I am not saying he shouldn't remove subsidy I am saying he should have kept quiet about till he resumes office properly and evaluates the whole thing and take action not this kind of talk ..

Person with a runny mouth and knee-jerk reactions evaluate? You don't know this man at all at all!
