Who is responsible for the jump in diesel? Is APC not the ones Nigerians voted into power to solve problems?

Why are you people always looking to defend an anomaly? How much are you paid?

Okota protest comes to mind. Increase was about 60% the current clowns were ready to shut down Nigeria. Today we have experienced about 500% increase in Gas and diesel and everyone is quiet.

Joe4real1988:
He increased it by 100 not to 100. Meaning if it's 500 before, it will now be 600. U guys are always quick to comment without understanding the content in order to attribute it to Tinubu.........mtchewww

100naira is not too much...Lagos is a role model

Lagos is a crime scene. Extortion is the order of the day.

Lagos, the commercial hub of Nigeria, has been ranking as one of the worst places to live in the world for the nine straight years, a BusinessDay analysis shows.

Data from the 2019 Global Liveability Index published by the Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU), the world’s leader in global business intelligence, shows the city has been within the range of 137th-139th position out of a total of 140 cities in the world from year 2011-2019.

The lack of state-owned pipe-borne water in the homes of Lagos residents has continued to be a source of concern, a non-profit group, Corporate Accountability and Public Advocacy Africa (CAPPA) has said.

At a press event to mark this year’s World Water Day, the group said its monitoring team’s visit to state-owned waterworks showed that most of them are not operational.

The group said the waterworks it visited include the ones at Maryland, Mushin, Ikorodu, Obalende, Agbowa, Onikan, Ikoyi, and Amuwo Odofin.

Only the one in Ikoyi is producing water, according to CAPPA.

.Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu has approved a flat rate increase by N100 in bus fares for all Bus Rapid Transit, BRT, and Standard routes as part of measures to sustain operations.

The increase, which is scheduled to commence on Wednesday, 13 July 2022, was said to aim at ensuring sustainability of the BRT and standard route schemes.

Assistant Director, Corporate Communication, Lagos Metropolitan Area Transport Authority, LAMATA, Kolawole Ojelabi, who announced this yesterday, explained that the operations of the transport scheme, in recent times had been hampered due to rising cost of inputs required for sustainable service offering and the attendant high number of buses out of operation as a result of lack of spare parts.

“For instance, the exponential increase in the pump price of diesel from N187 to N830/litre between August 2020 and June, 2022, had greatly affected optimal performance of the bus operating companies leading to the withdrawal of buses from operation and longer waiting time at bus stations.

“The Governor in consenting to the fare increase also approved a proposal for a bail out for the bus operating companies in other to cushion the effect of the harsh operating environment and safeguard private partnership investment and forestall the demise of formalized bus operations in the state.

“In view of the economic situation, the government is also providing support for the Bus Operating Companies in view of the continuous increase in fuel price. This is to ensure that the increase to the passenger is kept to a minimum,” Ojelabi stated.

The fare increase notwithstanding, government noted that whatever support this would provide to the operators, it would still not cover the cost of fueling, thus likely to put the continued survival of the bus operations on a tight rein.

Diesel to CNG

Ojelabi added that the Governor also approved the request by LAMATA for the conversion of the current diesel buses in operation to the use of compressed natural gas (CNG) and a shift to different economically viable and environmentally friendly mobility energy solution that are cost efficient and maximize operations cost such as Electric vehicles, hydrogen buses and the development of hybrid energy sources as alternative fueling for the current Bus Reform Initiative, BRT, buses.

According to the request, “These measures are indispensable in the current global economic and environmental reality to ensure the sustainability of the BRI operation.”

New Rates

When the new rates finally commence, a bus ride from Ikorodu – TBS will cost N600 from N500, while Berger to Ajah is now N700, up from N600. Oshodi to Abule Egba will cost N450 from N350 and Abule-Egba-CMS-Obalende will attract a fare of N600.

Ikorodu to Obalende used to be #300

I don't know why non-Lagosians are trying to blackmail us to love Tinubu. Anyone that lives in Lagos knows majority of Lagos residents don't love Tinubu.

They claim he developed Lagos, but Lagos has one of the worst roads in Nigeria. Aba state roads is far better than Lagos State roads.

Most of the FG roads are good in Lagos.

Remove thugs in Lagos, there is no way Tinubu candidates will win Lagos.

NEVER

Now, they have increased BRT price to #600 and expect people to be happy with them.

If Osinbanjo, our star boy can lose his polling unit, who is BAT.

Election no far again. We shall see

And this is how the "hugh" IGR is generated, where citizens are subjected to hardship day in and out.

Governance should be for the people and not against in a bid to "break records"

The Lagos State Government has borrowed over N126 billion domestically in the last quarter of 2021, the Debt Management Office (DMO) has said.

Do Benin, Togo, Ghana and other nearby Africa country produce crude oil? Which are the any nearby African countries you are talking about?

Why has the price of fuel and cooking gas increased in Europe? Do they have crude oil in Europe?

In terms of subsidy, are you aware that Germany is subsidizing for it's citizens?

Also, we thought subsidy on diesel has been removed and the promise was that it will be more "competitive"? Where is the competitive?

inoki247:
Lol ask yourself are we Producing crude a production without processing and refining is as useless as some who doesn't have until we start refining our oil we go still dey buy imported oil and dey will keep selling it at the same rate with other countries....

MadamExcellency:
Can you imagine the type of continuity someone is campaigning on?

My advice to Tinubu is that he should detached himself from the APC Government of Muhammed Buhari and campaign on his achievements and merit.
