₦airaland Forum

There was no provisions made for subsidy so no extra unutilized funds in that regards, rather it has reflected in the huge monthly allocation the tiers of government have been sharing from the federation account , I am sure the minister didn't want to publicly embarrass the senator with his response which might make the senetor look unschooled in financial analysis.

Better opposition kwanu how many rejected the sweetener they all shared.

sulaak:
It is not a reasonable question because Nigeria borrowed to fund fuel subsidies and FX control. The savings are that the country is not increasing debt to finance fuel subsidies, but Nigeria is now using debt to pay old debt.

The better question is why there isn't any fiscal reform, cut in government spending, or cut in wastage such as funds wasted on travelling, private jets, bloated government, budget padding and housing.

Nigeria need better opposition politicians.

I still asked the same question yesterday and a person on this forum abused me and called me illiterate but afterwards I schooled him constitutionally without throwing tantrum at him.

Nigeria will be good very soon,
Economic team should explain how much has been saved, they should tell us how much is remaining.
These leaders have put Nigerians into their pocket.
We all want to know how much was saved and how the money was spent.
If they ate the money, then they should start paying for subsidy, Nigerians can't be suffering while Apc will be eating our subsidy money .

They should tell us, so we can decide if to continue or not.

Best question of the year

rapheal5:
I'm sorry for Nigeria...

Truly really sorry!

Lovit:
where has the removal led us now?

why not get the few influential people prosecuted? are they stronger and more powerful than govt?

what does an average Nigerian benefit from the govt?

we provide our security, generate our electricity, repair our streets, pay for our children's education and buy food at exorbitant prices

Tell me one thing an average Nigerian is benefitting from Tinubu's govt

Nothing,
Rather they removed fuel subsidy and loot the money for themselves and suffer Nigerians.

Where is that subsidy money?
This is a national issue, we better shout it on twitter, social media.
They should be accountable for this subsidy money, people are suffering because of it.
Nigerians are supposed to know we're this money is and decide if subsidy should be paid.
Since subsidy was removed, Nigerians have been suffering.
If they can not explain the were about, please they should start paying the subsidy and bring fuel down to 200 naira.

We only hear reforms and policies of government and our food is daily going out of our table but we no see any gain or told what the money saved is used for or the gain. Make e nobi say naija has entered one chance oooo

BlueRayDick:
This excuse holds no water at all.

What is embarrassing about telling him that the money that ought to be budgeted for subsidy payment has been channeled to so so and so poject ?

Did the senator not ask the question in public? Why give the answer in private if it is that simple?

He shouldn't have asked that question that way in the 1st place. The better and intelligent question is to ask for value added to the government finances and the lives of ordinary Nigerians with the removal of subsidy. His question made it look like there is a special account/budget dedicated to subsidy, someone in his level of government should know better. The question is silly already to intelligent minds, there is no way Wale Edun will answer him directly that will not make him look more stupid.

And should the minister decide to answer the question by paraphrasing the question to sound more logical, he might need to talk about sensitive findings around the subsidy still under investigation, like possible findings of cabals benefiting from the subsidy that are under investigation, and other sensitive issues that should not be discuss in public yet for security investigation reasons.... We actually have no full clue what Wale Edun didn't intend to put in the public yet. But to think it's about hiding figures makes no sense because, there was no budget figure or amount for subsidy to manipulate and in the senate committee he was addressing, there were members of opposition parties there too.

You know u have no clue why he didn't answer the question in public, but u've been alleging all day that he didn't answer because the question was a stupid one ?

Na wa o.

When citizens keep defending public servants and politicians in this manner, they will always continue to shy away from accountability.

Wale Edun's job involves him providing clarifications to such questions raised in the hallowed chambers. In case you forget, the senator is a representative of the hundreds of thousand people of his constituency and Wale Edun owes them an answer to whatever question they have about the finance of the country. Except u are saying whatever Wale Edun tells them behind closed doors the senator will then go back to his people to relay same; and this doesn't even make sense.

Except you're telling us the Minister for Finance is telling lie.
He claimed ₦20 trillion has been saved from subsidy removal and floating of naira. Or you mean to say he spoke like illiterate?

Johnpiss:
Why was the Minister asking for a private talk?
He is a public servant and must account publicly.
The public deserves to have knowledge of every financial transactions

I agree but it's not the First time. Nor will it be the Last time - that Some discussions will be held in Closed Doors.
However,let Mr Edun tell NIGERIANS - tell us,what they received as Subsidies and how much was Spent - as Palliatives to the States and how much each of the Governor Received - from the Federal Govt and what is the Amount Outstanding!
• Every One Must Show Accountabilities and Transparency for Money Received and Spent.
• Ningi - and Other Legislatures - Must show us how much of the Constituency -Projects (N)- they All Received and how much is expended in Each of their Local Govt - should be Verified!
For it is easy to be Pointing Accusations Fingers 🤞 to the Executive - while the Legislatures are hiding their own Side!

That does not overrule the fact that the question from the senator is silly or stupidly asked. I was only suggesting reasons Mr. Edun could have chosen to answer the question in private. The more absurd thing are those suggesting he is hiding or manipulating subsidy figures. How do you hide or manipulate what is no longer existing?

The minister didn't run from his job of providing clarification to the senators, he only asked to address them off camera. The meeting was not a press briefing. It is not every information shared between different government arms that are for public consumption or debate. Applicable in advanced countries and even public business organizations like your bank too, they don't invite press for every discussion or release every detail of their finances to the public. That is why we elect representatives that look after our interests. If Senator Ningi (an opposition Senator) is not satisfied with the answers the Minister gave off public cameras, he should say so.

zero8zero:
What if he was trying to protect the Governors from media backlash?. Who doesn't know that the Governors allocations has more than doubled following subsidy removal.

The most senseless response on NL in 2025 hands down and I mean no disrespect.

Totally devoid of common sense.

Sometimes, it is golden to learn when to keep quiet.

We elect representatives to represent us because we all can't be speaking at the same time but our reps can echo our common thoughts and ask the public officers to provide clarifications to those asking point to the public and in public.

If they wanted to learn about that information behind closed doors don't u think they would've invited him to a closed door meeting, take down his explanation/talking points and bid him bye?

Nobody said he is manipulating figures that does not exist, rather they are asking him to explain to the public how the over $20bn he claimed the government has saved have been spent. Nobody forced the government when they made promises that money saved from removal of subsidy will be utilized for palliatives, infrastructures and other projects that will enhance economic growth.

Now he's being asked to explain how far well they have kept that promise and we are being told it's something that cameras must be off before it is explained. Haba!

There's no justification for him to have refused to give answers to the question in public gaskiya!

Let us even believe that that has been included in the monthly allocation for the state by your insinuation but as at November last year the same Wale Edun said Nigeria have saved ₦20 trillion from the fuel subsidy removal and the floating of naira. The news is here for your digest:
https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&opi=89978449&url=https://www.thecable.ng/edun-nigeria-has-saved-20bn-from-subsidy-removal-naira-float-policies/&ved=2ahUKEwiphdqHueuKAxXfXEEAHXmhOdkQFnoECBsQAQ&usg=AOvVaw32MOKxs1feuctzhfNbUl9_

Let me now pretend that the money was shared last December to various tiers of government. Using the constitutionally recognised formula for sharing money accrued to the federation account using the amount declared, ₦20 trillion.
The Federal is to go with 53.7% that is ₦10.7 trillion while state and local government areas share the remaining balance of ₦9.3 trillion. Meaning no state or local government area go home with ₦100 billion because we have 36 states plus FCT and 774 local councils in the country.
Then, you ask what has Federal Government done with their own ₦10.7 trillion?

Senator Ningi just asked a serious question that have caught them unaware and before next week, they will come up with series of lie to cover up their corruption.

I will not be surprise if this money have been starched for 2027 election while some people are fighting day and night to support them and the citizens wallowing in poverty and starvation.

Before you reply me to say jack and Harry, just know that for every project that Tinubu's government have claimed to embarked on, money have been borrowed for it till date.

I repeat that meeting was not a press briefing, most times press are allowed to cover senate committee meetings, but if in the wisdom of the committee or the person called upon to give information, they think sensitive or classified information will need to be shared, then it is expected they have that discussion off camera. This is not strange or new anywhere. Except you believe there should be no classified information in government, that will be a different debate altogether. The laws allowed classification of information everywhere at the moment in almost all countries of the world.

The bold question you also asked also showed you and Ningi have little knowledge of public finance. The fact that Wale Edun said over $20bn was saved from removing subsidy does not mean the money was saved into an account to be given account of.

Let me give you an instance, my office invested heavily in solar 2 years ago and one of my managers said said the solar we installed has saved us millions of naira meant for PHCN and diesel. Imagine me asking him to come and give account how the money saved from using solar was spent. That is a stupid question to ask because the there is no longer a budget or account for such expenses. While it is true is that using solar has saved us millions of naira, that money is not existing somewhere to give account of. It simply means the company by not spending money on PHCN and diesel, now have more profit or have more money to invest on other projects or company expenses.

So removing subsidy only saved the Government billions of money that they would have budgeted and spent on it. Mr Edun can estimate it because we know how much was spent the year before under subsidy. But after removing subsidy , the government is not putting the money saved in a special account to be given account of. they simply stopped budgeting and spending money for subsidy. That only give them more money to share between the different arm of Government to budget and spend on other things.

You can ask question about government spending on palliatives and other projects and how it affect the people, but the money for such thing is a different budget not from a dedicated subsidy account. mixing it up and asking the way you and Ningi is asking shows a level of ignorance in public finance.

gabbytabby:
Some of the Senator’s questions were unintelligent and showed a lack of understanding. If the Senator does not have a finance background or only secondary school certificate that might be understandable.

The Minister did not want to embarrass him in a public forum.

Demanding for accountability is now equivalent to asking unintelligent questions and shows a lack of understanding?

And since when did BAT's appointments begin to care about embarrassing senators?

And what is wrong in publicly, but politely, clarifying any misunderstanding as a result of poor knowledge of financial issues? Or does the minister want to insult the senator behind closed doors and castigate him for his audacity to ask 'unintelligent' questions that are meant to hold the executive to account?

At this point I can see u are just waffling and playing around semantics while trying to make an unreasonable and untenable excuse for the minister .

Nothing concerns me whatever you spent money on in ur office because ur office is not Nigeria ; a country whose finance all citizens have a right to demand an explanation for .

The finance of Nigeria is not a classified information ; at least there’s a reason why the country’s budget gets published .

You people that have chosen to defend government , its agencies and officials will come up with anything just to excuse them from being accountable to the people when they demand same of them .

It is really bold of u to be throwing the word “ignorance” around when u are talking about finance with me . lol . You are no different from all this current government’s spokesperson whose MO is to go combative anytime citizens demand clarifications/accountability from the executive arm of the government .

Truly it will be unintelligent to hailers and political jobbers for leaders to be accountable which is constitutionally stated in the law book.
The rate at which some of you quick to fight the truth is alarming is giving me concern how this country will progress with such mindset.

Account for the recovery from subsidy has become an issue to you guys. Well, it seems some of you doesn't know it is part of their oversight function to make executive to be accountable to the citizens.

I saw one video few days ago, how a legislator from Ghana was telling the outgoing president of Ghana some gospel truth about Ghana, an opposition legislator for that matter and the whole chamber was attentive to him, with no one shouting him down or been molested. Ah! If it was Nigeria, it is sure that such legislator will chop suspension for 6 months, if not 1 year and may not be able to walk on the street again or go to the constituency of that president again.

Most of the issues in this country, are not solely the fault of our leaders but many the fault of the led. Read the way way you said, he Wale Edun doesn't want to embarrass him and I ask myself, for what reason is he going to embarrass him?

BlueRayDick:
The senator asked very reasonable questions which I believe most citizens would like to know the answers to, but look at the Minister requesting for them to discuss the questions in private. Can you just imagine?

What are they hiding? Is the finance of a country not something that should be public knowledge? If the finance Minister is there and the minister for budget is also present, why can't they just provide answers to those questions on camera and let every member of the public have an idea of how the government has spent the money saved from the so called subsidy removal?

How can u be running the finance of a country as big as Nigeria without transparency?

How do you explain puplic finance privately as a public officer? Me think there is nothing to discuss privately as a public officer. The questions were asked in a public forum and should be answered there publicly.
On the flip side it is a clear display of the ministers ineptitude and no more!

The news is everywhere in the month of November and not a make up.

The senator was just asking the obvious and want accountability and it is within his purview to give answer to it for the sake of the public because monies are only held in trust by them on behalf of the people. It's not their property but the property of the people of Nigeria.

Please why are you people always get upset when they are scrutinising people in authority, as if what they are managing is their personal property? It seems you people forgot they must be accountable to the people at all times.

This is why I say most of the problems we have are caused by the supporters and not even the leaders.
See the leader has not asked the senator the rationale for asking that question but see some citizens questioning him for asking that. Someone even said it was a stupid question, another person said it was an unintelligent question that he suppose not ask it.
Let us just forget it, this country can never grow because as some people are pulling the string to the right, another set are pulling it to the left

Please take time and watch it. If it were Nigeria, it is cog sure, the man will be slammed 6 months or 1 year suspension and may not be able to walk around the streets of the outgoing president constituency.

Also, I have not read that Ghanaians have started attacking him for that but see the kind country we found ourselves.

The funny thing is that he is an opposition legislator while the senate President is in ruling party.

free2ryhme:
Senator Ningi’s grilling of the government’s economic team might seem like he’s standing up for accountability, but let’s be real—it’s hard to trust any politician. If he were getting "juicy kickbacks" or aligned with the ruling party, would he still ask these tough questions? Always question their motives, no matter which party they belong to.

You people must always have reason to turn logic on its head. See the direction you went to now just because someone asked critical question in the national interest.
Those getting those juicy kickbacks and refused to talk the day if their judgement is at hand but don't crucify the one he has said, just wait for the he will turn against the citizens.

Lovit:
where has the removal led us now?

why not get the few influential people prosecuted? are they stronger and more powerful than govt?

what does an average Nigerian benefit from the govt?

we provide our security, generate our electricity, repair our streets, pay for our children's education and buy food at exorbitant prices

Tell me one thing an average Nigerian is benefitting from Tinubu's govt

That was what a reasonable government would have done than plucking the whole citizens to avoidable poverty and penury.
This is the only country that will always punish their citizens because of the few people in the society. The people that are not up to 200. Because of 200 you reated ache for over 200m people. Unwise decision.
