(Good) news on subsidy

The minister of Petroleum Resources, Mrs Diezani Allison-Madueke has said categorically that kerosene will not be affected in the federal government’s proposed removal of subsidy in the oil sector. Though she said the subsidy on kerosene was totally inefficient. How come kerosene subsidy which is inefficient is left while the subsidy on petrol is been removed? She also said part of the reason the government will keep subsidizing kerosene was that there is no alternative fuel to give to the people. I come to think if there is an alternative to the petrol being subsidized.

We really thank her for shedding some lights on the deceits the government is putting forth to the people. It’s either the government is taking us on a ride or we are just being mocked. I also remember the President, GEJ saying the money which ought to be used to subsidize petroleum product will be used to provide mosquito nets. I am sure the President wasn’t serious about that because I remember we got those nets few weeks ago. And come to think of it, is mosquito net our major problem?
