Professional bodies too were subsidised?

My God, I know the govt is corrupt but if they did subsidised this much, them the govt would bleed.
The president should cut off all form of subsidies apart from education and start investing on new ideas.

Imagine, every nuke and cranny politician chool straw.

Ebubu7:
Bye bye to ASUU, Nigeria Medical Association (NMA), Pharmacists Council of Nigeria (PCN), et cetera receiving funding from FG. Effective 31st December 2026.


Every subsidy is going.

Every Union and council have 2 years to brace up themselves for self funding.



Lecturers, Doctors, Pharmacists, Nurses, Engineers and other professional workers will be paying millions per year to their Council now or their license will be revoked

Expect price of their services to also increase

This is full time capitalism

Tinubu with the reforms

God help us

All this are law by National Assembly no president can do all this

Subsidy is Gone.

Ebubu7:
they don’t have many professionals, so it won’t affect them.

The way you guys mislead yourselves with baseless assumptions ehh. That is why the North will keep getting aids and developmental projects because of all the false sentiments against the North. Stop saying what you lack facts of. The North is far better than you think.

MXrep:

Tinubu go just pack the money

Most of them were paid by borrowing money so looks like Government borrowing will reduce, not necessarily there was money being saved

So everything get subsidy for naija..... including toto and prick.

Good decision.

What new ideas are you talking about?

Is it because of subsidy that it hasn't invested in new ideas?

All the subsidy removed from kerosene and diesel, how many ideas was it invested in?

FreeStuffsNG:


Nigerians are now seeing why and how everyone is just being hypocritical. We were each bleeding this welfarist state yet pointing accusing fingers at politicians alone.

What is your level of education? Read, digest and comprehend before commenting.

Do you want to say that you don't know that the subsidy enjoyed by the professional body ASUU is in of school fees which is being enjoyed by the citizens, the subsidy enjoyed by the medical profession is in of free and affordable healthcare so citizens won't have to pay exorbitant health care fee, this means that the hospitals can't generate enough from fees charged so the government helps by paying staff's salary etc.
Do you want to claim that those subsidies i.e education, healthcare etc are enjoyed by the citizens just as is being done in every decent country in the world?

Do you want to claim that you don't know that all the current set of politicians benefited from the said subsidy, even the current president probably enjoyed one form of subsidy alduring their age?

How was Nigeria able to subsidized education during the days of Awolowo when we relied on only agriculture but fail to do so with the abundant crude oil l/gold resources?

I still don't get why you are celebrating the removal of subsidies - which is the most easily accessible dividends of democracy enjoyed by the common man- over the reduction of the spendings of political office holders that have continually show themselves to be greedy and corrupt. Are you this gullible?

Are you paid to defend this news or are you a politician?

Interesting... So this means the government has been subsidizing almost everything in this country

FG do whatever you want to do but never remove the subsidy on Gold Circle Condoms

Criminals have been running this empire called Nigeria. All those Doctors, Nurses, Pharmacist, and health professionals that get cheap education here then japa. Your cup have full, go n get your cheap education over there and practice wherever you like.

kokoA:
Hah! Government was subsidizing almost everything in this country o.. No wonder nothing is working, free money was tomuch in the system for people to "chop" leaving those of us who are into private business to suffer for our own daily bread.

let them be deceiving you. That's not the reason why the government is not working. They all hiding under subsidy scam. Leave him he wants to pack Nigeria under his canopy

Chai some people will just set some mechanism in place and just be milking this different subsidy funds.

Too much leakage.

ASUU is not a professional body but a trade Union. Pharmacist council of Nigeria is a regulatory agency and not a professional body.

FG has no business funding ICAN, NBA, NMA, ANAN, NSE etc. The people who came together to establish the associations should fund them.

MXrep:

Is it not your people that love welfarism more? Igbos have been paying for everything and have the money to pay any time

😆 😆 😆
The same Igbos that to pay for paracetamol alone in some hospitals na problems.
You people should stop your empty chestbeat ad grandiose delusion..ha ba!.. you people are NARCISSISTIC..chai

2026 is too far abeg

When we going to stop peddling this lie?

USA has a social security system that pays poor citizens every month. The system is well managed to reduce corruption to the nearest minimum and ensure that actual citizens benefit.....this is USA

Instead of going after the corrupt elements we are cheering government for scrapping the entire thing.

Everyone will be alright by the time the full effect come full circle

Ebubu7:
he said he’ll provide more rails and tractors for advanced farming to local farmers for food sufficiency

Buhari "said" he will fight corruption. He also "said" he will fix the refineries. In 2020, NNPCL "said" it had removed all subsidies. Tinubu "said" that buhari was nigerias only solution .

After all the above "said", what was the result?

ede1:
One important question Nigerians are not asking is thus . After removing these subsidies can the government give us both short-term and long-term plans on what to do with all these funds realized from the removal so we can monitor the judicious use of it?

Or they are just creating more funds to be embezzled.

That is the conversation I see many people on here purposely don't want to address

They are all hailing removal of subsidies, which is not bad but what happens with the funds and how does it positively impact the masses lives...

Ebubu7:

Igbos don't have Professionals,but the North have abi?

Ebubu7:
Bye

ms

Expect more people to start dying in hospital receptions or at home because
Nurses and Doctors will push their prices up , because they now have to pay millions in license fees to their council. If employing hospitals pay for them, they will be bonded by their hospital. The hospital will shoot up their prices to recover the high cost of licenses.

Minimum wage patient that cannot afford hospital fees will be directed to Babalawo or Dibia.

Babalawo or Dibia will request for live Chicken.
Live Chicken is already about N15,000 which is about 50% of minimum wage salary. Patient will just choose to remain home and die. Case closed

Ebubu7:


Education subsidy has been cut off too


Nothing is subsidised any longer by FG aside HEALTH.

Which health is subsidized and by which govt?

In Lagos to for antenatal is cheaper in private hospitals than public.

Government is subsidizing health and Nigeria has high rate infant mortality.

Truth be told, a lot of these bodies already generate IGR that is sufficient to maintain their offices and fund their operations, they often under remit or outrightly fail to declare this, while still collecting allocation from govt. I think the next step is to push for absolute transparency so they wont use this as an excuse to unnecessarily Jerk up fees

Those hailing Tinubu for discontinuing funding of especially Federal Councils means that the institutions they run will hike their fees. For instance, Federal University Councils will have to increase the school fees to fund their activities, Pharmacist Council, Medical and Dental Council, Council of Legal Education, the list continues, will all hike fees for pharmacy students, medical and dental students, students in law school etc will all hike their fees to cover the allocation cut off by FG.
So as you are celebrating Tinubu, know the consequences of the actions later on.

You had to ask?
It is obvious

The same bodies will come out to castigate the FG while collecting from behind as if nothing is happening. They need to be probed.

The govt was subsidising professional organisations? Na real wa.
