The President said SURE was hurriedly conceptualised in January on the heels of the nationwide protest against the removal of the fuel subsidy. Jonathan added that the implementation was no longer feasible since the zero-subsidy policy planned by his administration was not being implemented. What a situation the country is in.  |

“We are working on a new document based on the reality, but we don’t want to promise what we will not achieve. Those who have it please withdraw it, we cannot realise the money that is stated therein, but we will still come up with a document based on what we get.” Curiously, Jonathan had inaugurated a board for the implementation of the SURE programme barely a week ago, on February 13. The board is headed by a former High Commissioner to the United Kingdom, Dr. Christopher Kolade. Why must u inaugurate a board for implementation of a programme u are yet to properly formulate?  |
| Re: Fuel Subsidy Palliatives Not Possible Again – Jonathan by Demdem(m): 8:25am On Feb 21, 2012 |
Besides FFuck the Sure-P promises of urs or any new promise. Full fill the ones u promised before the elections. Now that u have increased fuel price, u have more money and it should be easier for u to fulfill. Here are ur promises. 1. You Promised to rule for only one term (reference http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-africa-12339017) As a man of your words or rather as you want to make us believe, PLEASE stick to this plan and pledge. I sincerely hope we will not have political jobbers, groups like Youths Earnestly Ask for Jonathan, Dbanj, Lagbaja, Sunny Ade all singing for your second term bid? I sincerely hope also, you will not come out and openly deny you didn’t make such promise or statements as you did about the zoning saga. 2. You promised a constitutional role for Traditional Rulers!!! I am short of words but Nigerians are waiting 3. On March 17th 2011, in Dutse the Jigawa state capital, you promised:"If I win the election, within my four years in office, I will establish domestic airports in all the states without airports, WE ARE WAITING. 4. In Nasarawa, at the flagoff of your campaign you promised at least a university in every state including building specialist almajiri schools to shore up education in the North so as to eradicate illiteracy.

On Feb 9th, you were in Bauchi and you promised to intensify oil and gas exploration in the North-East as part of efforts to harness resources for economic development. Also you pledged to boost agriculture, power and water supply for wealth creation and revenue generation. Then you assured that projects such as the Mambilla hydro-electricity, Jada irrigation project and Kafin Zaki dam in Taraba, Adamawa and Bauchi would be pursued to boost agriculture and industrial development. Then you promised that your administration would establish two universities in the region. The NORTH EAST PEOPLE ARE WAITING, 9. You landed in Port harcourt on Feb 12 where you made alot of promises, maybe to woo your Niger Delta people. Be that as it may, you announced that the NNPC, in partnership with the private sector, would establish a petrochemical plant in the Niger Delta (you didn’t state where exactly). You promised the plant will create job opportunities for the Niger Delta youths. Then you went ahead to promise the implementation of Local Content Law and Petroleum Industry Bill. In case you can’t remember when you made all these, cast your mind back to the stampede that claimed some lives (where your wife called them martyrs). 10. In Kaduna- You promised massive transformation of the agricultural sector through construction of large dams and distribution of one million metric tonnes of fertilizers for the 2011 farming season (The rains are here already, so fulfill your promises o) You also pledged to establish Almajiri model schools to address the challenges of the Almajiris. 11. In Benue-You promised to revolutionize agriculture and establish industries in the country through a five-year plan (We need that Plan now so we can keep track, the five years have started counting already) You also promised to complete the irrigation project in Otukpo. Then you promised that the second Niger Bridge and the Benue Bridge projects will be worked on in the next four years. I think it’s better to start now so by April 2015, we trust you would have completed it. 12. February 17th, you were in Plateau where you made shocked the entire country with amazing promises. First of all, you pledged to refocus on the solid mineral development of the state and make it one of the key revenue sources in Nigeria. The Plateau people are banking on you. Mr President, You promised to build more dams and complete ongoing ones, so as to boost agricultural growth. In addtion you promised to complete the Vom-Manchok-Jos road to boost economic links between Plateau and Kaduna states. You left the state and the Plateau people have been happy ever since and now that you have won, they are waiting 13. Mr President on Feb 21, you were in Kogi. You promised among other things promised that the dredging of the River Niger and Lokoja-Abuja road dualisation would be completed very soon. THE KOGI PEOPLE AND INDEED NIGERIANS ARE HOPING AND WAITING 14. In Kwara State on Feb22, you pledged that the irrigation project in Shonga would be completed soon to boost the commercial farming activities of the New Nigeria Farmers in the area. Mr president, remember you also said the Jebba-Mokwa road and Jebba bridge would be given adequate attention to ease transportation in the area. Kwarians are waiting! 15. On February 24, Mr. President, you pledged to rehabilitate ALL ailing industries in Aba. I believe all Abians are hoping on you to provide the enabling environment to do their businesses, you must keep your promises, 16. Mr.President, on Feb 25th in Anamabra you said there is a plan to build a power station in the state, assuring that within the next four years your administration would construct and rehabilitate ALL federal roads leading to Anambra as well as the South East. You equally to provide potable water to the densely populated Onitsha and Nnewi cities and tackle erosion in the South-East. To tell you the truth, Mr. President, Anambrians are banking on you! 17. In Ebonyi state, you promised to dualise the Enugu-Abakaliki federal highway in addition to establishing a secretariat for ALL Federal government's agencies and parastatals in Ebonyi. Mr. president, The people of Ebonyi has never had it so good since the creation of their state. Now, you have promised them the good life. Please keeep to your words! 18. In Niger state, you promised the more power generation. Perhaps the most important aspect of your promises is that your government would map out a five-year strategic plan for road projects. (Please we are waiting for the Plan NOW!!!!) 19. On Feb 27, you were in Asaba, the Delta state capital. On that fateful Sunday, you revealed that “The NNPC is developing a new programme that will absorb about 5,000 youths, ”, Mr. President, Deltans are delighted at this REVELATIONS. While that number is a far cry from the number of unemployed youths in the state, at all at all na winch (as they say in Warri), so Deltans are waiting. 20. On March 2nd, you were in Ondo where you pronmised that roads and other basic infrastructure across the states will be developed in four years. In addition you also promised the exploitation of the vast bitumen deposits in the state for national economic development and employment generation. The Ondo people are waiting. Your Four years have started already. You must start now. 21. On the same day, March 2nd, your campaigbn train was in Ekiti state. While there, you promised that more than N50 billion federal intervention projects were ongoing in the state. You can be rest assured that the Fayemi and indeed the entire Ekiti kete are waiting for you. 22. On March 9th, in Sokoto, you promised to rehabilitate the abandoned Shagari irrigation project as well as reviving the nation’s rail system and fight the menace of desertification in the country. Sokoto people have sufffered for too long. This is your time to redeem your pledge, Mr President. The clock is ticking!!! 23.The date was March 12th 2011 and you were in Ogun state. Remember, the day you rode to Abeokuta through rail? Yes, That was the day you promised an improved power supply before the end of the year through the Integrated Power Project (IPP) initiative. You also pledged to build more refineries, encourage downstream activities, resuscitate rail transportation and create jobs. In case you have forgotten, that was the day that Gbenga Daniel (your South West campaign coordinator was booed by the Ogun people). 24.On March 14th, your campaign trained moved to Kebbi where you promised to establish a federal university next year (2012). You also promised to create jobs through science and technology, tackle environmental challenges and boost health care delivery. 25.Katsina, was your port of call on March 15 where you promised to enhance the living standard of Nigerians through implementation of people-oriented programmes that would provide citizens the necessary opportunities to realise their potentials. In my opinion, this was just mere rhetorics as you did not make any concrete promises. or did you have the premonition, you will lose in Katsina? I might just be right. 26.In Kano, you pledged to resuscitate the nation’s power sector and encourage the development of small and medium scale enterprises in the country while ensuring justice, equity and fair play in the polity. Mr.President, Space and Time will not allow me to list the deluge of promises in Lagos, Osun, Borno, Cross River, Akwa Ibom, Enugu, Imo, Taraba, Jigawa, Edo, Bayelsa and Zamfara states. If you can accomplish all your promises in the next four years, then you will go down memory lane as the best President ever. I’m all honesty, I wish you GoodLuck!!! |

It takes someone with something of an empty head to demonstrate against subsidies and still expect to receive the full benefits of the money that would have been saved. 2 + 2 = 4, it can never be 11. Comprende? |

“You know we could not achieve that though there was an increase in the pump price. I don’t want this thing to be distributed; it will give a wrong impression. Can someone explain this, please? |

Hehehe We are working on a new document based on the reality, but we don’t want to promise what we will not achieve. Those who have it please withdraw it, we cannot realise the money that is stated therein, but we will still come up with a document based on what we get [img]http://image.shutterstock.com/display_pic_with_logo/744046/744046,1307553508,9/stock-photo-magician-shows-stunts-and-tricks-with-cards-sleight-of-hand-glamour-background-78868972.jpg[/img] |

HNosegbe: "We cannot achieve the previous projections for the SURE programme even though the fuel price has increased. So please stop circulating that the document with the previous projections in order to avoid giving the wrong impression. We choose to be 100% honest about what we will do." GEJ: We are working on a new document based on the reality, but we don’t want to promise what we will not achieve. Simples. |

Hope they aint gonna keep working on that document till 2015 sha  This is a true case of planlessness. How on earth could any right thinking person believe that fuel subsidy could be removed completely at a blow in Nigeria? |

It's God that will punish Jonathan ǡŋ₫ his bunch ☺₣ God-forsaken incompetent ǡŋ₫ useless administration. Now that the dust has been wiped from his eyes he ¢ð₪ see that the whole idea was Ǟ hoax after ÄŁĻ on Nigerians, the guy is a living disaster and this is what Nigerians will have to live with for another four years. It's only in this country that such open arrogance and inhumane attitude can be utilized, if this were Ǟ developed country, protests would have raged in Aso Rock by now ǡŋ₫ only Jonathan's head would calm the masses. |
| Re: Fuel Subsidy Palliatives Not Possible Again – Jonathan by werepeLeri: 9:21am On Feb 21, 2012 |
safarigirl: ALl this because of your hatred for GEJ. Chill. Whats all the curse for? I pity the man you will live with. The man is plainly being sincere, and all you can do is rain curses on him. Na wa o. You can start the protest for Jonathan's head - in fact, you can attempt to cut the head of by yourself to make a point, rather than shouting on the internet. Haba? Do you know the meaning of a hoax? |
| Re: Fuel Subsidy Palliatives Not Possible Again – Jonathan by sirjec(m): 9:22am On Feb 21, 2012 |
kokoA: When GEJ made his promise, you people would have allowed him to work with his plans but you chose to occupy till he reduced the price. Won't you allow him to make plans for the new income. Sometimes I feel some of the people in this Nairaland are illiterates. Planlessness? You cannot eat your cake and have it. You prefer subsidy to infrastructural development. Enjoy the subsidy and keep quiet |
| Re: Fuel Subsidy Palliatives Not Possible Again – Jonathan by omo9ja1(m): 9:28am On Feb 21, 2012 |
OK we are still waiting to see what will happen, you realise Mr President that time flies, so be man of your word |
| Re: Fuel Subsidy Palliatives Not Possible Again – Jonathan by MAYOWAAK: 9:28am On Feb 21, 2012 |
During the fuel subsidy debate, The Federal Cabinet and some supporters of fuel subsidy removal claimed that price of PMS will 'fall' like the telephone tariffs, I disputed the claim like some few individuals who faulted the argument about the similarities purported by the proponents of the subsidy removal, Now, Minister for Finance,Petroleum Resources etc went to Zurich last week to meet with I, nternational community and there the Minister in charge of the Economy opened her statement with the same line of argument ", tariffs of telecom have fallen drastically since the deregulation. As soon as we deregulate petroleum market fully, investments will flow in and PRICES WILL FALL, " As soon as she finished her statement, a foreign Journalist from the Economist tore the argument as ", not intelligent, " He posits that the petroleum economy is far a pole apart from the telecom market, Immediately, the Minister changed her argument that she didn't say the price of PMS will 'fall' after deregulation but the product will be ", regularly available, " The journalist then quoted her statement, She and her team looked stupid, I then began to imagine, why didn't our Press over the months of this 'STUPID ARGUMENT' raised what this Foreign Journalist raised, I believe Nigeria can do better, We need to hold these people responsible and that is the only reason we constantly view their policy thrust forensically so that situation like this embarrassing comment would not happen, |
| Re: Fuel Subsidy Palliatives Not Possible Again – Jonathan by werepeLeri: 9:28am On Feb 21, 2012 |
People's hatred for GEJ beclouds their ability to reason, most of the time. A programme was made based on an expected income, you people carried cutlass and hoe and went to the streets, the expected income is no more possible, yet, you want the programme to be implemented or you want the old document to be circulated - is that not the one that is more of deception? Abeg- make una try reason before raining curses on GEJ. |
| Re: Fuel Subsidy Palliatives Not Possible Again – Jonathan by gregg2: 9:29am On Feb 21, 2012 |
Dunces, Mumus plenty for this nairaland. So with all the Occupynigeria protest and government's reversal of it's policy on subsidy removal, some of you goatheads still think govt was going to proceed with that SURE document from Okonjo Iweala. How? Can you eat your cake and have it? GEJ is just being honest to Nigerians. Simple. |
| Re: Fuel Subsidy Palliatives Not Possible Again – Jonathan by Dotman01(m): 9:29am On Feb 21, 2012 |
Now that the SURE programme isnt feasible, When is he going to revert the pump price back to #65. . . We're waiting. |
