1.I agree with you and gave you a like.

2.However, the reason for smuggling is simple. Petrol costs N145 here in Nigeria. In Niger and Benin it's N300 and above.per liter.

If you are a businessman, you would smuggle and make a good profit.

Also, subsidy on petrol amounts to 'price control'....which means , in essence, that Nigeria is finding it difficult to attract investors who would have helped us build more refineries...and by extension provide jobs (Subsidy is also preventing NNPC from making a profit...which is why they do all sorts of 'creative accounting' there to stay afloat.).

Removing subsidy means that marketers would be allowed to set their price. Yes, we would buy fuel at N300 AND above (which is how much they buy it in many West African countries).....but more investment would flow into refinereis among other things....and we would use the subsidy savings for other things . Like free education for the poor for example. Better railways.

Because APC does not want to lose votes...we keep subsidy, and at the end of the day, we end up with more and more smuggling.And we cannot keep the borders closed for ever. We are part of ECOWAS.

Bolustical:
Most filling stations in the borderline Sokoto, Katsina, and Kebbi will die natural deaths if this border closure is sustained for a long time.

These numbers off filling stations should scare we Nigerians as they are far too much than the demands of these states.

They are mostly used for smuggling to other countries and nothing more.

It's either DPR is just waking to its responsibilities or the Ogas need monies and they need to be settled.
