Going by what i understand Sovenir is suppose to be some form of gift that can, and will, help people remember the event. The money could become an insult to some people because you are saying to them this money will serve you long enough to make you remember this event. What's $600 to someone who has N20m?

Can you think at all? The higher the price of oil the better for nigeria financially
the last part of your comment should have read . . . The better for Nigeria and those who run corruption, but the lower the price the better for availability of the fuel locally and its cost locally.
Next time, you do a little thinking before hitting the keyboard. We are talking local fuel availability here and not govt earnings.
Politics › Re: FG Establishes Efficiency Unit To Cut Cost Of Governance by Standing5(m): 10:52pm On Nov 25, 2015
centvin008:
“Specifically, the Efficiency Unit will work across all MDAs to identify and eliminate wasteful spending, duplication and other inefficiencies; identify best practices in procurement and financial management and share such knowledge to ensure its adoption.

“Findings of the Efficiency Unit will be formally communicated accordingly and will be enforced through establishment of expenditure guidelines, undertaking follow-up reviews, spot checks and other measures that will ultimately checkmate wastages across all areas of federal government expenditure,” she said.
This is what any leader who truly wants to reduce wastage will do. Most business owners know what their basic need cost and only give enough margin for a profit that is fair to them and the suppliers of such goods/services. Why can't the government adopt same method since its primary function is not the sharing of easy monies?

Thank God, change is here at last. No more clueless government.
Politics › Re: FG Establishes Efficiency Unit To Cut Cost Of Governance by Standing5(m):
Great news!
Let's have a benchmark for pricing basic goods and services used in govt agencies. The idea of people 'hammering' by supplying writing pen and tissue papers should stop. Anybody who wants to 'hammer' should hustle for more patronage and stop inflating contracts for supply basic materials.
By the time Buhari is done, Change will be visible for all as against the partial fresh air method. Imagine the fed govt setting a bench mark for developement of website/portals for ministries, agencies and dept at N10 million, not only will inflation of contracts will be checked, the best hands for the Job will show up speedily.

My brother, if a government is in place and the dollar appreciates against the Naira. Who is to blame? The question shouldnt be, how much was dollar then. Rather, how could a government sit back and watch its currency deppreciate in the manner Naira is doing at the moment. What are the polices put in place to curtail it? When the government of the day makes its country none attractive for investiment, what do u expect? Miracles? Nigeria has realy been taken back 37yrs. We had an option to progress from here
I remember vivid ly that on the morning of March 28, 2015 when GEJ Was still in power dollar exchange for 210 Naira and above every where. So stop blaming the Buhari govt indirectly. Jonathan it was, who watched and suppervised the free fall of the Naira. Infactt the verdict from financial experts as of March 2015 is that of the Naira being at minimum of N260 to a Dollar by now. So stop being angry at APC kicking out incompetent PDP.

Bros did u get the information I am trying to pass?It has ntn to do with exchange rate.I love Buhari but the masses are suffering cos of fuel.Let us nt be blind cos of luv
It has everything to do with it. If Naira losses values against dollar then the prices of Oil sold and refined in Dollar domian will automatically soar in Nigeria. So please give us a exact date of the Fashola news in order to make 'enough' sense.

OP, what was exchange rate of Naira to the Dollar back then?

If you cannot figure out how the exchange rate negates your arguement then don't bother starting topics like this again.

. . .

Had to modify my comment further for those who still can't figure out how exchange rate affects the fuel market price & availability in Nigeria. If Fashola had made that statement when oil sold for, lets say 55 USD/barrel at N170/USD, 100 barrel will be cost some ( 55usd X N170 X 100barrel ) = N93,500.
If he had made the statement when Dollar sold for N210 at 50USD/barrel, 100 barrel will be ( 50usd X N220 X 100barrel ) = N110,000. We can see cleary that even if the price of oil reduced between the time of Fashola statement and now slightly in real life. There are other stronger factors that can and did negate it. That's for theory. The practical and reality is that, dollar exchanged for N220+ on March 28, 2015 till May 28 even though it was forcefully pegged at ~N200. Fashola was right to criticize. The jonathan admin still accounts for &90% of our fuel woes (both price and availability) today.

After running down the economy, the PDP is now ready to cooperate with the APC led govt. Imagine if Nigerians hadn't booth out PDP, how would they have coped with oil prices below $40 a barrel?
His attempt to argue that dwindling oil prices should reflect cheap oij is also negated by the fact that the Naira has lost value greatly(under PDP).

How did this OP measure his suffering in the first place? The way I see it, your mind is weak. If you need money so desperately, why not start a business like farming, transportation, or marketing. Any suffering that leaves you with little or no money might as well toughen you for more opportunity.
