“Subsidy” became a national buzzword in 2012 when the then-President Goodluck Jonathan announced its removal. Petrol prices increased from N65 to N140 per litre and triggered almost two weeks of protests, known as ‘Occupy Nigeria’, causing the government to reverse the decision.&yet no single protest with fuel increased from N210 to N620 in less than 2monrhs, with all the attendant increased hardship for Nigerians. |

I honestly think we can tax each litre #150 per litre... Give diesel and kerosene tax free because those are used by industries and poor people respectively But that's not the issue... The issue is what we need to do from now Like Peter Obi said we need to start pulling people out of poverty from day one If I was president 1) call a meeting between the house of assembly leadership, judiciary and the banks lead by CBN instantly to find legal framework for what I'm about to do 2) source for 25 trillion naira , from loans and government funds... Give it to the bank at say 3% interest rate with a 4 years no payment period... Raised at say 5 trillion per year a) banks would loans this money out to business... Only business at an interest rate not more than 10% with a 3 years no payment period b) this loans would be given to cooperatives and manufacturers in only import substitution or exportable products (that we can produce below international market) c) to access the loan you must show you can produce such product at a price not more than the landing cost of the product for import product or less than the international price for export product d) large importers should encouraged to take up loans and produce what they import in some key sectors that we can have comparative advantage 2) garment factories and leather factories should be given priority along with fruit concentrate, ethanol production, Industrial chemical formulation, pharmaceutical industry and improve seedling Industries... Others are chocolates, peanuts and metal refineries This would create over 5 million direct jobs, cover more Industries into the tax bracket... Increase revenue by over 5 trillion per year That's the Koko Not building phantom infrastructure that can't generate revenue for now... Not handing out peanuts I rest my case 1 Like |

Xammie001:I have a factory and the least loan you can get now is 30% per year some go as high as 50% I was offered 40% Access to credit is the most important factor hindering business in Nigeria... Not even power, not infrastructure... The interest rate is key Nigeria is the only place in the world where people who haven't had a business before run the country and formulate policies for businesses.... Like obi said government is the number one killer of business in Nigeria via so many factors Another thing is since the money is not banks money u can limit them on who to loan it to Banks now mostly loan to real estate developers and politicians... Manufacturers make less than 20% of loans from banks |

Xammie001:Do you understand what excess crude oil is? Let me explain When budgeting we set a benchmark that is a target that crude oil should sale and base our budget based on that So if we set a benchmark of say $75 and crude sales for $85 dollars... Our share as a nation goes into excess crude account... Because it's more revenue than we planed to receive... APC never saved anything meaningful even when crude sold way above our benchmark... So who should u be asking APC or PDP? |

Wii you keep kwayet!! An estimated 23 million of Nigeria’s 80 million employable workforce have just lost their jobs due to failed policies, and you’re comparing pump prices in support of another failure! Your govt approved minimum wage that can neither buy a bag of rice nor a full tank of petrol anymore, compare it and that of those countries first before you start telling us about pricing & tax exemptions. |

Xammie001:Unless you are not in Nigeria, you can not pretend there's no increased hardship for the average Nigerian. Good Governance is all about improving the living conditions of the governed. Any policy contrary to this should be jettisoned. Subjecting Nigerians to hardship can only be justified if there are immediate or at least short/mid term benefits. So far, nothing in view as per this. I believe certain measures like functional refineries should have been put in place b4 the FS removal. The abrupt removal is akin to extracting a rotten tooth without anaesthesia. Not an economic expert, but there are economic stimulants like Security & Stable power supply etc that will boost productivity & attract investments, local & foreign. It is the onus of Govt to look in this direction. |
