Benin city BENIN CITY - A student body under the aegis of Edo Youths For Good Governance (EYFGG) yesterday carried out a protest march, calling on the federal government to revert its decision on the removal of fuel subsidy. The group also circulated a letter which was signed by its President, J.C. Iyamu Osaro and Director of Public Affairs, Comrade Ehigiator James, saying the decision for the removal was orchestrated by the ruling class to continue to impoverish other poor Nigerians. He said unemployment which had been the bane behind the criminal vices like kidnapping, armed robbery, bombing and insecurity in the land could have been addressed through direct investment on infrastructural development across the decaying sector of the economy that spaned the length and breathe of the country. The group which carried placards with inscription such as: “Say no to fuel subsidy removal”, Say no to austerity measures” and Say no to local colonial leaders on fuel prices” accused the President Jonathan-led government of inflicting pains on Nigerians. The statement added, “Since Jonathan emerged as the President of Nigeria, we have continued to experience economic crises, insecurity and another pain have been added unto our pains, we are saying no to fuel subsidy removal, we are saying that Jonathan should harness the resources of the country, he should create an idea that is geared towards impacting on the lives of our people. Today we see austerity measure in the country; we are ready to join all the civil groups to protest the removal of fuel subsidy. We will continuously embark on massive protest, there is going to be revolution like what we see in Libya, Jonathan is a failure. http://nigerianobservernews.com/04012012/news/news1.html |

Civil societies in Rivers ready for showdown - South-south Different civil societies in Rivers State have condemned the recent decision by the Federal Government to hike the price of fuel from N65.00 to N141.00. They have also declared January 9, this year, as a rally day, rebuffing the State Commissioner of Police, Suleiman Abba, who on Monday, stated that “the strike does not mean demonstration and procession.” The groups, United Action for Democracy(UAD), Centre for Environment, Human Rights and Development, Ogoni Solidarity Forum and Civil Liberties Organisation (CLO), on Tuesday, criticized President Goodluck Jonathan’s administration for being insensitive to the hardship faced by Nigerians. National General Secretary of UAD, Comrade Ken Henshaw, while addressing journalists in Port Harcourt, said they were ready for a peaceful protest no matter the statement made by the Police Commissioner. Henshaw insisted that their fundamental human rights to orgainse a peaceful assembly should be respected. The groups called on members of the public to resist the fuel subsidy removal and frowned at government’s unwillingness to arrest and prosecute the cabals involved in illegal petroleum business in the country. “We shall mobilize citizens to begin an indefinite series of actions aimed at registering discontent over the suffering this policy has already begun to bring about,” he stated. The CLO, in particular, urged for the immediate sack and arrest of Minister of Finance, Ngozi Okonji-Iweala, and Governor of Central Bank of Nigeria, Sanusi Lamido, for imposing fuel hike “aimed at destroying the economy and inflicting more pains on the suffering people of the country.” In a statement signed by its chairman in the State, Obodoekwe Styvn, the CLO demanded the disbandment of the Petroleum Products Pricing Regulatory Agency(PPPRA) for its un-usefulness to the society. http://www.sunnewsonline.com/webpages/news/national/2012/jan/04/national-04-01-2012-0014.html |

Politics / It’s Bad Luck –neighbour2neighbour Co-ordinator Enugu by aljharem3: 3:43am On Jan 04, 2012 |
By SAM OTTI Wednesday, January 04, 2012 Photo:The Sun Publishing More Stories on This Section The Enugu State Co-ordinator of Neighbour2Neighbour Jonathan/Sambo Campaign Organization, who worked for the emergence of Jonathan as president, Dr. Chinedu Jideofo-Ogbuagu, has condemned the decision of the Federal Government to remove fuel subsidy. He described the development as bad luck to the country. Jideofo-Ogbuagu said: “We laboured and sacrificed greatly for Goodluck during the April 2011 presidential campaign. I lost my brand-new jeep and other valuables worth N17 million and almost lost my life to armed robbery attack at Kogi/Benue border on February 18, as I was taking Jonathan campaign materials from Abuja to Enugu. Eight months later and with Goodluck Jonathan as our president, fuel has jumped from N65 to N200 per litre. Only bad luck could produce such an outrageous and ridiculous price. Was this what I fought and almost died for?” Also, a renowned Professor of Economics and former vice chancellor of Crescent University, Ogun State, Sherifdeen Tella, has faulted the Federal Government’s decision to remove the subsidy. In his reaction, Prof. Tella said the decision would spell doom for the nation if allowed to continue because the policy failed to take into consideration the informal sector production unit that depend on petroleum for operation. Tella, who was also the former Dean, Faculty of Social Science and Management, Olabisi Onabanjo University (OOU), said other sectors that power their operations with small generators would find it hard to survive, which could result to unemployment. “Unemployment with its attendant social implications as well as inflation should be expected to rise within three months from now,” he said. Prof. Maduabuchi Dukor of the Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Awka, who described the decision as authoritarian and despotic also expressed similar concerns. He said the policy was an ‘undemocratic action induced by the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and World Bank economic imperialism, which only ends in the empowerment of corruption and corrupt office holders through direct and indirect appropriation of the national wealth and the excess oil revenue’. Although the current Head of Department of Business Administration, Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Awka, Prof. Ezinma Nwadiogwa Nnabuife, hailed the decision because of its long term benefit to the economy. She said the wrong timing of its implementation had imposed suffering on the people. According to her, the full implementation of the policy had hiked the pump price of fuel and ushered an astronomical increase in transport fares across the country. http://www.sunnewsonline.com/webpages/news/national/2012/jan/04/national-04-01-2012-008.html Is that not what we have been saying to GEJ |
