This government is failing forward, learning fast and responding rapidly to feedback.

Elrufai is late to the dinner table. Who cares if there is subsidy? Obedients and Atikulators were crying that the time for the subsidy removal was wrong anyway so who cares? It now occurs to El Rufai that the Government seems to be getting few things right and the economy will improve, thus, his cheap jab at the Government for paying subsidy. Na today day break?
A word of advice for Elrufai. I expect you to form an unholy alliance with the obedience and their yes daddy principal plus the Dubai landlord immediately in opposition to the Tinubu Government. I want to really check something. You have seen the handwriting on the wall and nobody is hiding it. This is truly Emilokan Government with the mandate to transform the nation. This is the Government of omoluabis and other patriotic Nigerians who wish the country well. I want to tell you one secret Mr Elrufai including the unfriendly friends of Nigeria and the emergency lovers of Nigeria. We the Yorubas above the age of 40 years knows that this will be the only Government headed by a Yoruba we will witness in our lifetime and we are glad Tinubu gave us enough Representative opportunities in this Government. We can beat our chest that if Tinubu fails, the whole Yoruba nation fail. We do not expect another Yoruba led Government until 2055 except their is military intervention or a return to regional Government which is unlikely .That's why all Yoruba technocrats, industrialists, Traditional leaders, Religious leaders, those in the diaspora, entertainers and all of us must join hands together to deploy everything we've got to make this project work. I'm sure friends of the Yorubas across the nation will support us while our sworn enemies will wish we fall. There's a lot at stake. Elrufai is fighting a battle bigger than himself. The only alternative to a united and prosperous Nigeria is a broken or fragmented one and for your information, we are equally prepared for that if that is what it takes. You will be surprised.
regional government is very possible and it will happen under Tinubu

The federal government is not subsidizing any petrol. A barrel of crude oil in the international market is $85 as at today, that’s the equivalent of $0.51/liter. Convert $0.51 to the current exhange rate of $1100, you get naira 561. According to the international market a price of a liter of fuel is naira 561. It hurt me so much that people who have held sensitive position in Nigeria can’t calculate this easy mathematics. The federal has not subsidized petrol since tinubu was president. We need to do our own research before coming online to embarrass ourself
you no well sha. So you know more than the owners of Nigeria and that foreign newspaper that said subsidy has returned.

Calculator… na you know book pass.

when we try to let them know they say we hate the country only useless set of persons believe the country is making gains what they are doing is tasking the masses to pay for subsidy and defending the naira apc and bad governance are one

Thats just what you want to hear. Tinubu is President and THERE'S NOTHING YOU CAN DO ABOUT IT. Even if Tinubu leaves politics today, NOBODY IN YOUR LINEAGE can match his legacy. Go to LFTZ and see the vision of the great BAT of Africa, go and see Eko Atlantic, you have seen the blue and red line. A kingmaker bcomes king. Nobody in igboland can achieve that.

Instead of speaking grammar and constituting nuisance on Nairaland, sit down and strategise on how to achieve something that PEOPLE ON YOUR STREET will see and talk about in the future. Because if you continue to carry Tinubu's matter on your head like this, you may not make any meaningful impacts on EVEN THE CHILDREN YOU'LL GIVE BIRTH TO. I wonder if you even ADD ANY VALUE to the family you came out from.

You still don't understand West Powers, (Germany, France, USA, UK) are all EVIL! If you enter as president you will see the evil agreements our old useless leaders like Abacha & IBB signed with them.

How do you think IBB, Abacha etc makes their money inflow of money per day, as far as 9ja remains as one. They all signed monopolized bills to the West to be in control of our resources for years.

Obviously as a result of Naira depreciation. If government did not restart the policy we would have been paying close to N1,000 per litre for petrol.

However, now that the Naira is gaining value we expect the story to change.

Because for decades, subsidy, and the price controls inherent in subsides, made domestic refining unprofitable.

We went from 400000 bpd capacity in 1987 to 92000 in 2012 to 6000 in 2019.

Venezuela in roughly the same period had their largest refinery go from 900000bpd to 100000bpd. Subsides.

Well, whatever you think of me, petrol is expensive to make and must be sold at a profit to keep flowing...and the refineries to keep working

Plus, I've supported this thing since 2011. Maybe I was working for your side back then.

Vision101:

In any policy there will always be room for self adjustment. There's no way the government would have allowed such a sensitive product to the swings of the open market.

The problem is, controlling the price is costing the government billions of naira that could have been spent on other things like education, etc.

Also, apart from Dangote, no one is willing to take a risk to invest in refineries.

THe government is making a mistake. A big one, by continuing subsides.

In principle fuel subsidy is gone but the government has allowed self adjusting mechanisms. This means that if the exchange rate adjusts then the government adjusts it from the subsidy and if the refinaries start
production then the price will be adjusted from the price of crude sold to them.

Which is wrong. Price controls, as proven many times, do not work.

It's better government lets the free market do its thing. At the end, we all benefit. Jobs, investment, JOBS, more government revenue.

There will be no major adjustment of the open market price of the product.

Well, APC Is just PDP in another form, so the same mistakes are made.

Whatever you think of my member, the fact is, it does cost a lot of money to refine and transport a liter of petrol, and selling it at a profit benefits many Nigerians, and would benefit many poor Nigerians, and people like you.

If subsidy worked, our refineries would have increased in number. Sadly people want to make money, and not just the big men on top.

Three reasons subsidies are bad


Over-consumption
Setting fuel prices below market prices encourages over-consumption, with no significant linkage effects on other sectors of the economy. Linkages are usually created when the consumption of a good or service results in the emergence of new economic activities. Consuming fuel beyond a socially optimal quantity does not have that effect. Instead, it diverts resources away from more productive sectors of the economy. The global trend is to discourage fuel consumption by making it more expensive through higher sales taxes. And by discouraging investment in fossil fuel projects.

Negative outcomes
Subsidising fuel exacerbates pollution, global warming, and road accidents – what economists call negative externalities. This is when one person’s actions negatively affect other people that are not part of the actions.

Inequality
Subsidies reinforce inequality. The artificial reduction in the market price of fuel benefits upper income households the most because they are the ones who use the most fuel. They own the most cars in Nigeria, especially the ones that guzzle petrol. Nigeria is among the countries with the least number of vehicles per capita, with 0.05 vehicles per person or 50 vehicles per 1000 Nigerians. With an abysmally low minimum wage of N30,000 ($65) per month and non-availability of car loans, most Nigerian workers cannot afford a car.


From the article How (and why) Nigeria should remove its fuel subsidy

So meaning fuel suppose to be around 1100 per liter


Then why did he declare that Subsidy is gone, and triggered the economy negativity.

Even at that, he and his team keep celebrating the "Subsidy is gone" declaration.

It's pathetic.
