What Is Deregulation? by Chuks84(op): 12:36pm On Nov 05, 2009
There has been so much talk about deregulation, its the cause of our present fuel scarcity. Being a layman, i just had to ask, what is deregulation sef?! Some colleagues explained it to me and from what i gathered, i just don't understand why it is being resisted by the Nigerian masses. I believe that once our petrol is no more subsidized and oil companies and fuel marketers are free to set their own prices, competition will eventually come into play thereby driving down the cost of our petroleum products, just like what has  and is still happening in the telecommunications industry. please i would like to hear your views.

Deregulation simply means allowing things run the way they naturally should, not tampering with anything, remove all forms of manipulation. Deregulation is part of democracy. Freedom of the market.
