The actual beneficiaries of fuel subsidy removal

Solomon AJADI

The beneficiaries of fuel subsidy removal are the governors, the president, the local government chairmen, the legislative arm, the top government functionaries like the ministers, the commissioners, chairmen of government parastatals, the families and cronies of governors and president and other political functionaries. This is why our infrastructures remain the same, hunger still persists, healthcare centres have no drugs, school fees remain on the high side, electricity still bringing darkness, terrorism still thriving, unemployment on the increase, poverty level accelerating, transportation cost on the increase despite reduction in fuel price, road accident on the increase because of bad road network, the same people eating the so-called subsidy then are doing so in another name after the so-called removal. It’s like we are moving from frying pan into fire directly. Question: What is the solution? Since they fail to spend the money to build infrastructure and remove poverty, let everyone go to his or local government and be getting stipend every month after the budget had been read and passed by the National Assembly and States Houses of Assembly.
