Government has responsibility of protecting local industries. [b]With high tariffs [/b]on certain imported goods, local industries can compete, we know. With such low income, how do you expect citizens not to take advantage of lower prices offered to them from competing sellers?

The point he was making is that local producers needs to be pushed to compete with the imports instead of being protected with high tarrifs = government support the local producers - R&, tech, training, finance etc. (v different from subsidizing the imports) with future view that IF THEY WATCH QUALITY (of products and management) they'd catch up with imported products and later get international pricing with profits by exporting.

One cannot believe everything NNPC says any more. Their data of consumption has always been geared towards how much of subsides they are paying or embezzling.
To say Nigeria is consuming same/more after the price increase from N85/9 is doubtful.

If the general public able to afford it, good. If not, they should look into the pricing masses can bear.

When are we going to start using standard weights and measures sef?
We make mountains out of things that should be easily resolved.

of 56 Japa bariki Rd. interesting address.

This is misuse of Media. You'd see that the guy is wearing EFCC suit...why don't they settle their family affair and question themselves for employing him in the first place.

They have no praise from here still...till they point out their supporters inside the government (politicians, military and police) or use the same skills they use on protesters on them.

We can't be reading they are bandits, then seeing them turbanned by Emirs and nothing happens!

Are they just collecting funds from marketers for their operations now?

Why would anyone even believe the Governor's exaggerations?
But if true, he ask himself questions and later provide solutions.

Probably insect(s).
Must have been left unattended too...

where is the cheap energy?

My own is , why is this presidential plane only $13m when Nigerian government claims hers is $100m?
WHY CAN'T WE GET COMPARABLE PLANE/VALUE AT SUCH REASONABLE PRICE?

Give them first
Only ensure they can be easily removed for non-perfomance with reasonable time frame

The government businesses and this NNPC can only thrive in monopoly and financial opacity...

NNPC wants and need to continue her lies on the price of PMS and other products instead of just providing allowed product specifications and allow other traders import to be relevant or profitable.

Definitely a click bait...
She didn't shower or urinate for a month?

Just another useless agency milking us dry

Hmmmn.
save Three Crowns that is not advertised as dairy milk, we are buying mainly Palm Oil as milk in this country!
Yet the NAFDAC will give importers hell with different requirements all over nothing - they have turned into a money generating agency just like FRSC left traffic regulations and correcting driving habits to focus on fines and driver's license.

From time immemorial you can represent any state other than your state of origin... eg 1988 MBGN Bianca Onoh represented Abuja; 1990' Winner Sabinah Ifeoma Umeh rep Niger State, 1991's Winner - Adenike Asabi Oshinowo represented Rivers State.

We should not duel on (what we were doing right already) and trying to correct others about.

People should read well and realize this is the Nigerian Winner or representative not the African or Miss Universe Winner already!

Please, Is she from Taraba? Because that's the state she represented in the competition.

It's not high speed and the coaches are 2nd-hand trains Sanwolu but from Canada. But it's a good start at least, especially since it took Lagos more than 20 years to complete this rail system

Hmmmn
Good people are monitoring this...
Guess we'd never have accurate Data

As a Nation we routinely put arms in the hands of criminals and call them Service men. Recruitment and discipline is not thorough or desirable.

How can a serving member of Navy be an active armed robber and killer at the same time?

This man has fixed his children in different areas of the bench.

Apart from politicians in Nigeria, the Nigerian Judiciary are the only people earning world class salaries, pensions and increases.
.

The same/fixed salary for life is from our taxes o,
The biased promotions of politicians wives the bench so as to collect these life salaries is public. but for what service to the Nation?

They just keep making them give Nigerians discriminatory scrutiny at airports

The guy was questionable all along (Arabic/French qualifications, promotions etc)

Rufai was not immediately put as DG, he truly might not be comparable to Dauda and definitely not liked by NIA staffs that put out petitions then.

Mohammed Dauda came in after Ayodele Oke but ran into stormy waters too...with claims he refused the cabals to take the Ikoyi funds.
He was replaced by Rufai who then fired him...blw was written by former NIA staff Muhammad Ado Fili.

Why don't they ever finish investigations first

The scam air Nigeria project, coastal highway and this OVH acquisition controversies under the Tinubu's catastrophic govt will surely consume people when the chips are down.

Are we reading the same story? The dates shows Air Nigeria and OVH acquisition happened before PBAT came in.
Let's call for a transparent and efficiently runned NNPC. Let Kyari answer what transpired in 2022 when they made this shady deal

I was thinking the same...
That's why we don't have successful public projects.
The financiers pulled out of the AKK pipelines project as we increased costs to over $5b after over $1b committed (comparable length -600+km of project costs around $270m)
