What Should Happen To Citizens That Can Not Afford PMS by Jollos(m): 4:17pm On Jun 03, 2023
Do this government think about her citizen that can not afford buying PMS at this exorbitant rate?

Lagos Ibadan express road inward and outward Lagos is now free since Tuesday. Which show many people can not afford this high price.

Subsidy Removal may be for our own good, but should the citizen die of hunger and plunge into abject poverty while hoping things will be better.

Or will government distribute startup capital for all entrepreneur that could not make it through this difficult time.

Those shouting subsidy is gone, hope they are not wicked and not considerate of the average citizen?

Governmnent should subsidize public transportation tbh.

That's best way to go.

More people will use public transportation instead of Private cars.

Yes that will reduce about 50% of the burden of subsidy removal on the poor.


The other 50% is the epileptic Power supply.

Petrol is not food and is an important commodity but not an essential commodity.

Is it possible to allow a country to go into bankruptcy on the strength of funding petrol. We do need to go back to basics and instead give support in form of equipment and tax incentives to agric businesses than for petrol. The cost of food is what needs to come down not petrol.

It is myopic to assume petrol is not an essential commodity.
Common sense should tell anyone that when petrol price increases, cost of transportation will increase. And when cost of transportation increases, price of goods will also increase.

Like lagos every states need to invest in public transportation instead of subsidising petrol for everyone including those with 5 or more cars and 50m to 100m vehicles.

It does not make commonsense.

You cannot encourage investment in local production unless and until you make import unattractive. China did this successfully but we Africans are slower to take opportunities because we don't trust our government to be consistent.

I think part of the reason I am pushing for Pres Tinubu is that it creates an opportunity for our people to get Into agriculture and reap the benefits of all the suffer but unfortunately our people do not want to soil their hands and the boko haram is not helping matters.

We need to be proud to eat our local rice and chicken. Many frozen food places were selling imported and smuggled rotten chicken during the border closure.
