NLC is just a waste of time. you tell me how Nigerian’s are benefiting from the subsidy. how many months has fuel being sold at the official rate? Even if fuel has being selling at official rate since after the election, hasn’t the current scarcity and price increase just wiped out any saving that Nigeria people might have gotten from the subsidy? forget about the lost hours waiting for fuel, lost hours not used for productivity things. isn’t NLC the organization that rejected a 51% stake in the publicly traded or privatized refineries. They would have being effectively controlling the refineries. Personally NLC has completely failed the people and should step out of the way and allow progress. Nigeria can’t afford the subsidy. it is killing our nation and destroying progress. it is time to deregulate and let market forces determine the price of fuel. deregulate so that investor can build refineries. government needs to the stop the regulation of prices for various item. food is the single most important thing a human need, yet the government doesn’t regulate it, and there hasn’t being wide spread starvation. The government need to deregulate the downstream sector immediately, stop regulating the price of gas and strengthen the regulator mandates so that they can monitor and prevent price grouching.
we need a leader that is strong and bold enough to stand up to this people against deregulation and the end of subsidy.
