Now imagine the amount govt pays to subsidize the 12M litres

ManirBK:
What the foreign countries are doing to Nigerians warrants that the boarders be closed. At least they will know how important we are in promoting their market and in boosting their economy. PMB all the way....

adioolayi:
Enemy of progress are the ones pressuring the government to open our borders for illegal smuggling.

Before you start insulting me...I hope you are aware it was a partial closure... and it is open for those doing legitimate business.

ikorodureporta:
still insignificant

muystoy:
We don hear, can you now give us the details about the subsidy on petrol since a loophole has been blocked? It's expected that the price of subsidy payed should have drastically reduced by now

BAAKUS1447:
They are always eager to justify their half baked policies.

Bunch of criminals

Go and find out the meaning of SMUGGLERS
Very dumb question.

Few weeks after the closure of the nation’s land borders, daily petroleum consumption had dropped from 60million litres per day to 52million litres per day, the Minister of State for Petroleum Resources, Timipre Sylva, said yesterday.
Sylva said this when he inaugurated a team of 89 persons drawn from five key agencies to ensure transparency and accountability in the distribution of petroleum products across the country.

He said the team would help to authenticate the actual volume of products imported and consumed in the country and ensure that the nation attains energy security.


Members of the team were drawn from the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation, Department of Petroleum Resources, Petroleum Products Pricing Regulatory Agency, Petroleum Equalization Fund and the Department of State Security.

If all the subsidy money that is used to import the 8 million litres that goes to neighbouring countries is used to get more customs personnel that will patrol the borders effectively, there will be more jobs for people and our borders will be more secure against crimes and smuggling of other items. Alternatively, they could use the money to build border walls to protect us.

SoNature:
Huncle, he asked a good question.

Most of the smuggings is facilitated by men in uniform.

Why they can't accept bribes to allow people smuggle things into or out of the country now is that there's an order for outright closure.

If you travel, you will find that filth has eaten deeply into the fabrics of the Nigeria's society.

half-baked policy

FarahAideed:
Manir are you aware that daily fuel consumption under Jonathan was 26 million litres a day despite lower price ? Can this govt explain why it rose to 56 million in the first place ?

komodapson:
There's no border in the world that is free from smugglers and illegal migrants...rather than spend huge financial resources in training custom officers, paying huge wages...why can't FGN remove subsidy on petrol , to discourage transborder PMS sale...since the price will arguably be uniform....and subsidize Education.. From Primary to Tertiary level and it must be in tandem with international standard and watch the nation experience astronomically growth...

KENFERDYOORI:
The whole thing isn't feasible especially when the country isn't self_sufficient. You can see it evident in price hike.

Solsix:
But the money paid for the subsidy remains the or even going up

Iogobenz:
If they totally remove petrol subsidy,Nigerians will all die in 2 days
That's why.
Also,quality education is hardly free anywhere in the world,not even the charade going on in Germany is free

Lmao...I can't stop laughing ó...just 2 days...we no go even reach 1 week before Nigeria collapse...you're right %100...The so called Daad scholarship is not what really we think it is...but I'm still of the opinion if elementary and post elementary education was up to world standard...from basic 1 to JS 3 alone...world class...there'll be significant drop in poverty, hunger, preventable diseases ...

Partial closure of border doesn't make any economical sense to me walai.... I would've love if FG can remove PMS subsidy and subsidize cement...to bring about affordable housing and reduce 23 million housing deficit...but the story go be the same as PMS...

komodapson:
Thank you jàre...we are not secured in anything... Nigeria is food insecured...are we sufficient in Rice,sugar,fish,wheat,milk,beef,poultry,fruits&vegetables (tomatoes) e.t.c

First, let us produce all these food items, in sufficient quantities, well preserved/stored..then watch FX drop like trajectory... But this cannot be achieved without power and some key infrastructure : road, railways, ferries
