It appears the only solution to this issue of fuel subsidy removal is increase in wages.

But when wages are increased, prices of commodities will respond in the usual language which in effect dampens the increase in wages.

NLC will then start negotiating for another salary increase and if govt obliged again, the cycle is repeated.

We expect govt officials to be resourceful rather than simply following popular demands for wage increase as that will in effect portray them as just empty opportunists struggling to just control the resources.

Get experts in relevant fields to address this issue, I don't subscribe to increase in wages.

Tinubu sent agberos to dialogue with the NLC who are sounding more intelligent than they are.

the truth is nigerians don't trust the tinubu's apc that buys everything including peoples conscience with the gains that will come out from subsidy removal.
they will still re loot it and tell cock and bull stories.

Everybody knows Asiwaju must have plans before announcing subsidy removal. Today is his one week in office. It's too early for Nigerians to start enjoying luxury...
Igbos can sit at home but we from the SW are okay with whatever will move this country forward, we don't have saboteurs among us.
Before you ask me how much I buy fuel. All west African countries are buying fuel higher than Nigeria even after subsidy removal they didn't need to vote for APC, PDP or Labour party, we are not isolated from world problems...

If NLC truly want solution they should have been at the meeting yesterday. Tinubu didn't remove subsidy Buhari did. You need to talk to the man to know his plans and agenda.

For me!! Downsizing the civil service is the way to go,too much deadwood getting paid for doing nothing thereby ballooning govt recurrent expenditure

Adabestseason:
The best solution is to decentralize the NNPCL(south-south,south east,south west,north east,north central,north west) to look for fuel and supply to each region at their own price and license artisanal refiners to use local technology since the cabal could not allow refineries to work.They are against the workings of government refineries and turn to glorify private individual in their believe every should be privatized to them and their children that government has no need doing business who told you when china is operating their businesses successfully.So meeting TUC,NLC is a waste of time and resources when most members are parts and parcels of the myriads of problems facing the country. This is 100% solution

Lithiumite:


Direct them to more productive segments of the economy like agric or manufacturing or even service sectors......govt should provide training for them on how they can stand alone and provide financial backing to them in terms of loans and guaranteed.....consolidate what they should Eran say over 10 years and monetise it for them.....you need to visit govt establishments to see how redundant and wasteful this guys are,they need to be pushed into productive segments rather than seating in those offices.

What Nigeria needs now is production, production and more production,once the economy is expanded,there will be more money for everyone......we need to find how to boost our economy without causing inflation...... Mere minimum wage increment will bring just about that and it's still papering over the cracks......govt recurrent expenditure alone is weighing down our economy,it needs to be reduced

I am not against subsidy removal. I feel it was rushed. All in an attempt to appear presidential on Inauguration Day & may be deliver on an election promise I guess.

I believe a good leader is proactive rather than reactive. Measures should have been put in place to cushion the effect(s) of the removal. Whatever solution he has should have been in place at least to a certain level(while Nigerians await full implementation) before the announcement of the removal by end of June as planned for by the outgone administration. I believe government is a continuum much more one that is of course he same party.

BabaRamota1980:


I dont believe any level of govt can operate successfully in the absence of some subsidy in the economy. They are proposing removing fuel subsidy but projecting that wage increase will help cushion the consequential fall out in commodity and service pricing. This is a net-zero effect. Like you said, an orbital programme from one administration to another.

What is going on around the world is societies are moving away from combustion engines. Many municipalities encourage this by taxing sales of combustion vehicles and habits. To gain from that, employers sign to a protocol of responsible custodians by implementing commuter transportation into benefit packages. Another option is workspace hub. There is also programmes to reward physical fitness, and so they make it affordable and accessible to ride bicycles to and from work.

The has been increase in number of people in different age groups that will just slump and die. Those that survive end up with irreversible stroke conditions. Few years ago, President Tinubu lost his son, Deji in similar way. So we need a keep fit regimen for our civil servants, students, private sector workers, teachers, and so on. So this would need govt creating access and safety for cyclists to share road with automobiles, with severe penalties and enforcement for violators. Like BRT lanes in Lagos, govt can create bike lanes.

Similarly, zones should be encouraged to develop intra-commuter rail as an extension, and link to metro rail network. This will help decongest cities and provide options for working class citizens.

Our society have a lot of service industry. Typically, except sales, marketing where you need physical face to face interaction with customer, most service can be provided remotely. So there should be sharespace office hubs. This is a imperative on private sector, does not need govt intervention to take off.

The subsidy needs to be removed, and no need to increase wages to offset, but changes I outlined above are helpful in changing habits and mindset about self responsibility towards an improved society overall.
