If newspapers publishers begin to sack workers again tomorrow for lack of enough patronage and sales to maintain their staff, this government will begin to issue threat of sanctions again forgetting that every reaction is a product of an action.

The is the same way they pulled out government funds from banks in the name of TSA implementation.

so because they carry same story, other should not sell?

Because your elder brother go to school, you shouldn't go?
What do you reason with? Is government a charity organization? Why should government buy newspapers that have the same stories?

This is a welcome development as most newspapers carry the same stories. Principal officers like VCs, DVCs, PROs, etc in universities have also done the same.

Make meaningful cut in cost of governance abeg! Reduce the vehicles in your motorcade and sell 7 of the 9 presidential jets then we will know you are serious. Not all these infinitesimal efforts.

Muhammad Ali's funeral took place yesterday. Will you buy Punch, Nation, Vanguard, Tribune, Guardian, Sun, ThisDay and Daily Independent to read just to know what took place? What you cannot afford as an individual, don't strive to get it when you are in government. You can't afford eating turkey as an individual but always want to eat it from government's expenses because you are now in government.
Re: Buhari Restricts Newspapers Supply In Aso Rock by ayindejimmy(m): 9:04am On Jun 11, 2016
This is a strategy at cutting expenses. Of what use is yesterday's newspaper
Re: Buhari Restricts Newspapers Supply In Aso Rock by SirHenry105(m): 9:12am On Jun 11, 2016
Restrict foreign trips, coz am sure money spent on one trip abroad for one member of the first family will supply the villa with any amount of news papers for 6 months.

Yes.... to cut the cost of buying Indomie, or Gala and Fanta for visitors.

Re: Buhari Restricts Newspapers Supply In Aso Rock by aloeman15(m): 10:40am On Jun 11, 2016
My people.
Stop all the unnecessary quarrel. Let's do the math. Numbers don't lie-
100 papers daily at N200 each is less than N8million a year.
Each foreign trip buhari took cost $1million.
We'll never get the true figure of his medical resting, but it's clearly over a million dollars.
Servicing his presidential fleet cost N7billion last year. That amount was actually for grounded planes, not those in constant, active use.
How can you then call restricting newspapers 'savings'?
And as someone pointed out, these papers are in his budget. Is he going to amend it to reflect the change, or did anyone hear that the funds have been reallocated?

Grow up.

The restriction, evidence of the prevalence of the economic downturn, means that only few top officials of government are entitled to copies at the expense of the government.

Nigerian Pilot Saturday learnt that supplies to the offices of the Chief of Staff to the president, the Permanent Secretary State House and the Deputy Chief of Staff were restricted to between one and four copies.


In other words....your government is cutting unnecessary costs.

And even then.....govt officials can always read the papers online free of charge.....which is what is really dealing with the newspaper industry in Nigeria.

And most Nigerians do not buy the papers....it is too expensive.

Grow up.
And the same government is saying they should not lay off workers. How would they pay workers if government don't patronize them?

What you call waste and unnecessary is someone's pay check.
