The removal of the fuel subsidy by the Nigerian Federal Government is affecting (almost) each and every Nigerian.
We say almost because while majority of Nigerians will struggle to meet ends meet with this 100%+ increase in fuel prices, our politicians continue to live decadent lifestyles as evidenced by the 2012 budget.
For example,
477 Million Naira was set aside for grocery shopping and “catering materials supplies” for the President’s office.
293 Million Naira to provide “refreshment and meals” for the president’s comfort at his home and office.
…and the list goes on. Click HERE for a breakdown.
In our opinion, if our leaders want Nigerians to embrace austerity measures, they will need to tow the same line.
