Mixed Reactions as Government Increases Fuel Price to N145
The payment of subsidy has been digging a hole in Federal Government’s purse to the tune of about N1trillion annually.
Apart from halting the payment, which not a few Nigerians describe as a scam,
deregulation will also encourage investors to build refineries and sell products at market prices, boost investments and create jobs.
More importantly perhaps, those clamoring for deregulation say that it will end the paradox of a nation dependent on importation of petroleum products despite being world’s sixth largest oil producer.
However, the Federal Government’s announcement of an increase in the pump price of Premium Motor Spirit (PMS), otherwise called petrol to N145 per liter did not go down well with some.
Labour union leaders are literarily up in arms over the decision. Some of them, who spoke with The Nation, could barely hide their anger and frustration over what they termed as “wrong timing and ill-conceived” manner the Federal Government deregulated the sector.
But the Director-General, Enugu Chamber of Commerce, Industry, Mines and Agriculture (ECCIMA), Sir Emeka Okereke, said:“We have always said let subsidy go; deregulate so that market forces will determine the price of petroleum products and the dollar.” . He recalled that because of political exigency, Goodluck Jonathan failed to take the bull by the horns and deregulate the sector.
He said this was why the administration buckled under the pressure by labour unionists and civil society in 2012 when there was a nationwide protest against the removal of fuel subsidy.
“Subsidy doesn’t make economic sense anymore. It has become unsustainable. We will never come out of the woods as long as we continue to subsidize the price of petroleum products,” Okereke said.
The Petroleum Products Pricing and Regulatory Agency (PPPRA), which statutorily moderates pricing for the industry said Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) Retail stations on the outskirts of major cities are advised to sell at price lower than N145/litre.
Labour kick, says increase is unacceptable
NLC President Ayuba Wabba claimed that increase in pump price of petroleum products would impoverish more Nigerians and distabilise the country. “Any increase in the price of petroleum products is unacceptable to labour and we are going to fight it,” he threatened.

London mayor reacts to Donald Trump exempting him from Muslim US ban, says he hopes Trump doesn't win the US Elections
In an interview with CNN's Christiane Amanpour, Sadiq Khan reacted to the comment and revealed that he hopes Donald Trump does not win the U.S. presidential election. He said,
"I’m really proud London choose Unity over division. My message to Donald Trump and his team is that, you know, your views of Islam are ignorant. It is possible to be a Muslim and to live in the West. It is possible to be a Muslim and to love America. By giving the impression that Islam and the West are incompatible, you are playing into the hands of the extremists. I'm not exceptional. So for Donald Trump to say, 'Oh, but Mayor Khan can be allowed, but not the rest is ridiculous’ and I’m hoping he’s not going to win.”

N23bn Fraud: CBN Officials Storm Fidelity Bank Headquarters
A top executive of the bank confided revealed that the CBN officials visited the bank’s headquarters as part of investigations into the messy deal.
It was learnt that a committee from Fidelity Bank had already made a comprehensive presentation to the CBN on its involvement in the deal.
This, according to the source, will further help both the apex bank and the EFCC in their investigations.
It was gathered that the visit by the compliance unit of the apex bank to Fidelity Bank was to compare some of the transaction documents with the presentation made by the committee.
These would be compared with the statement made to the EFCC by the embattled managing director.
Recalled that during the build-up to the 2015 elections, Alison-Madueke allegedly invited Okonkwo to help her handle some cash, which would be disbursed to electoral officials and groups (as bribe).
Herdsmen Attack: FG Removes Enugu Police Commissioner
The Force Public Relations Officer, Bisi Kolawole, confirmed on Tuesday that Ekechukwu had been posted out of the state to another command.
“Enugu CP has been posted out of the state to another command and a new CP, Emmanuel Ojukwu, has taken over. The redeployment is part of strategies to improve police effectiveness across the country.”
On Monday last week, no fewer than 20 persons in Ukpabi Nimbo, an agrarian community in the Uzo-Uwani area of Enugu State, were killed while many others were injured during an attack.
It was claimed that scores of armed cattle breeders, reportedly numbering more than 100, stormed the sleepy community in the early hours of the day.
The police high command was said to have been angry due to the fact that the villagers had informed the state police command about the impending attack but the formation did nothing to forestall it.
None of the cattle rearers, who were allegedly the aggressors, was arrested.
President Muhammadu Buhari has ordered heads of security agencies to take all necessary actions to get those behind the attacks and bring them to justice, either they are Fulani or not.
