Nigeria Subsidy Removal Puts Pressure On EU Refineries (33241 Views)
(1) Go Down)
emkz: 9:19am On Jul 28, 2023 |
The decision by Nigeria's President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to remove the very popular but expensively scandalous fuel subsidies has reduced the demand for petrol in the West African country and also removed incentives for smugglers. Nigeria had been a popular destination for refined fuel from the EU, and with the current development, the EU refiners need to look elsewhere to break even. One of Europe's main markets for gasoline has shrunk, threatening to squeeze European refiners, after Nigeria removed fuel subsidies, which destroyed much of the country's domestic demand and a regional market for smuggled fuel. https://www.reuters.com/business/energy/end-nigerian-fuel-subsidy-set-squeeze-europes-refiners-2023-07-28/ 24 Likes 5 Shares |

In Nigeria, poor people are standing on the mandate of criminals, and the criminals inflict them with more pain and poverty. The poorer they get, the richer the criminals get. Let The Poor Breath. Suffering and smiling poverty. When you try deliver them, they tag you names. 114 Likes 15 Shares |

I enjoyed the part of the report that cited that once the subsidy was removed, the financial incentive for smuggling was killed. Removal of subsidy was a brilliant move by the President. For many years, Nigeria was taking from our purse to feed criminals and foreigners. How do you collect subsidy and still take our fuel to sell it elsewhere? Let our states government step in to help our people by addressing the after-effects. Subsidy did not help the poor it was meant for. 143 Likes 9 Shares |

Good development. Let our refineries work first..... Because up till now we still import refined fuel which price is determined by exchange rate. If the value of dollar was less than N200. We wouldn't have been buying fuel this costly. Simple. 37 Likes 2 Shares |

emkz: Poor man pays transport of 200 naira during subsidy. Poor man now pays 500 naira after subsidy removal. You guys should stop this lies!!! Everyone benefitted from subsidy, directly or indirectly. The economy runs on petrol because Nigeria has a paltry 5,000 megawatts for a population of 200 million. Apart from paying more for transportation, the poor will pay more for food because cost of transportation affects prices of foodstuffs. Blaming smugglers for the subsidy wahala is one being myopic. If a thief keeps breaking your home to steal foodstuffs, would you stop buying foodstuffs and let your family die of hunger because of thieves? No! You will seek for ways to catch the thieves. Instead of bringing in measures to catch smugglers, Tinubu decided to punish millions of Nigerians because of the actions of few smugglers that may not be up to 3,000. 111 Likes 15 Shares |

tamdun:Ask APC government. Buhari had 8 years, pumped billions of naira to fix PH, Warri and Kaduna refinery. Yet, none is working. You are still providing jobs for Europe after subsidy removal because Nigeria is still importing petrol. 46 Likes 4 Shares |

(Disclaimer: I do not work for Tinubu, APC, the government, NNPC, or petrol marketers, lol) Well, I doubt EU refinereis would be losing money, since we are, after all still importing. And even if Dangote comes on stream tomorrow, we would still have to import. The report is some ten years early. As for smuggling, some smuggling still goes on, but the cost differential makes it less profitable. At least the smugglers are spending their own money, not government money. Finally,we need to get domestic refining back on stream, now that petrol is profitable. Good thing subsidy is gone. At the end of the day, there is only so much of tomorrow's money one can spend today. 98 Likes 2 Shares |

JAMO84:Tinubu have been sniffing cocaine and heroine before others followed given his sensation $460,000 Chicago court forfeiture in 1993 without any attempt to clear his name. Meanwhile, the balabloo-blu-bulava heroin drug baron kicked against the same policy in 2012 with the infamous Occupy Nigeria protests @ Ojota and Abuja? What have changed now?

When the citizens have been rendered poorer and dumped their vehicles for commercial vehicles or walking, I'm sure that is to be counted as gain to the government of the day. Their ers need to rejoice even harder when the statistics on vehicle importation or usage is thrown up. Una never understand where una dey go. Niger and Benin Republic go soon close their borders to Nigerian refugees. 4 Likes 1 Share |
