Mr Peter Esele, a former president of the Trade Union Congress, has underlined citizens’ distrust of government and its incapacity to react to the demands of the masses as important reasons why Nigeria’s fuel subsidy cannot be removed.<\/p>\n

Esele also described the Federal Government’s proposed 18-month deferral<\/strong><\/a> of the implementation of subsidy removal as “kicking the can down the road,” saying that the major political parties had failed to demonstrate clearly how they would handle the nation’s oil and gas industry.<\/p>\n

He said, \u201cWhen we have this gap, it becomes very difficult for the government. The government has not done what it is supposed to do. That\u2019s why we are having these challenges. Nigerians are wondering what would happen to them and the economy if the subsidy is removed.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe government is promising many things but there is that communication breakdown and the lack of trust between those in authority and the citizens. The two major political parties must be asked what they intend to do about subsidy and it would make it easier for the people to vote.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo, the deficit we have had since 1999 is that we have not really had political parties that have policies cast in stone or what they intend to do with the oil and gas. What we have at the moment is more ad hoc.\u201d<\/p>\n

The former TUC leader, however, warned that the delayed implementation of the Petroleum Industry Act would affect investors\u2019 confidence.<\/p>\n

He said, \u201cNow, they have the PIA and they are asking that it should be delayed for implementation. What that would do is it would affect investors\u2019 confidence. Those who want to invest in the downstream sector would also back off.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis policy flip-flop makes it difficult for businesses and investors. So, we are in a catch-22 situation. Whether we remove or not, there must be critical thinking.\u201d<\/p>\n

Esele also wondered why the Nigeria Governor\u2019s Forum raised the alarm over the management of the subsidy regime by the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited when approvals for deductions from the Federation Account could not be done without the consent of the states.<\/p>\n

He added, \u201cThe governors cannot talk like ordinary men on the street. The governors have a right to know what is happening in the NNPC and they can use the various instruments of law to make the NNPC bring its accounts for them to see. The governors didn\u2019t tell us this three or four months ago. We are hearing this now because the payment of subsidy will be maintained.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think they are looking for an institution to take the blame. The NNPC<\/a> is not perfect but it is the only one importing petroleum products. We should also ask why the private sector is not bringing in petroleum products. If there is a level-playing field where other people can bring in petroleum, then you can hold the NNPC accountable. The governors need to go beyond talking to acting. It is one thing to say certain things in public and another thing to actually do the work.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe governors are too political and that affects them. Nobody has the right to take money from the Federation Account without the approval of the federation, which includes the state governors, but if the governors are keeping quiet about it, it is not for them to come to the press and accuse the NNPC.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
