In December 2003 the then president has below to say on the removal of toll gates: “PRESIDENT Olusegun Obasanjo said on Saturday that the Federal Government decided to scrap toll gates on highways nation-wide with effect from January 1, because they had outlived their usefulness. He said the toll gates had been known to record serious vehicular accidents while portions of roads near many of them were full of pot holes The President assured that proceeds from the petroleum tax of N1.50k per litre which would become effective from January would be used to improve federal roads in the country. He said though it was true that the tax would create some inconveniences, especially as the effect would become manifest on the cost of goods and services," in the long run, the merits outweigh the demerits as everybody would be good for it." Why is President Buhari trying to re-introduce toll gates? Is the petroleum tax no longer there? Price of crude in international market has fallen below $40 yet price of fuel locally in still high. Our dear President Buhari said in the past that we are not supposed to buy fuel for more than 50 naira when he was in opposition. Who is fooling who and when we Nigerians get leaders that will put there interest first before the persons’ own interest? I ones posted a connect of a Nigerian that was publish in a national daily, where he said, he will sell fuel to Nigerians below 25 naira if given the chance, yet the authorities that promised change choose to look else and prefers to dances the same discordant tones that they accused the past government of dancing. https://www.nairaland.com/2753825/petrol-available-everywhere-nigeria-n22 more detail http://www.vanguardngr.com/2015/11/amid-worsening-fuel-crisislike-sarabia-petrol-can-be-available-everywhere-in-nigeria-at-n22-per-litre/ When truly will Nigeria get the President that will put then first? Prices of food items and other basic necessities of life have gone up already. The introduction of toll gate will have triple negative multiplier effects on Nigerians. In any case Nigerians should learn to look properly in 2019 before leaping. You ask for change, you now have it. |
