Bismarck Rewane: Subsidy Reduced, Not Removed by Kukutenla: 8:20am On Jan 02
The Chief Executive Officer of the Financial Derivatives Company, Bismarck Rewane, has said that subsidy was not removed but reduced.
He stated this when he appeared on Channels Television’s on Sunday evening.

During the programme, Rewane also highlighted the effects of the reduction in fuel subsidy and how it has affected Nigerian salary earners.
“At the inauguration, it was said that subsidy was gone but subsidy was actually reduced,” he said.

According to Rewane: “There is the convergence of exchange rates and reducing the windows into one. The consequence of that money has been transferred from consumers to the government.

“Subsidies are reversed taxes; if you reduce them, you increase the people’s taxes and reduce their income. What has happened is that government revenue has increased by 44% between May and June. Money has been transferred to the government but what is the government doing with it?
“The consumers, on the other hand, had a minimum wage, which in dollar terms was 40 dollars in 2002. In 2019, it was about 70 dollars but it has now been reduced to 24 dollars.”

cheesy grin cheesy

I remember Zombies and their subsidy is gone propaganda in the early days of this govt.
One even said Tinubu has done what the combination of OBJ, Yaradua, Jonathan and Buhari could not do.
Another said he'll only support Tinubu if he can see the removal of subsidy to a logical end. The zombie is still supporting Tinubu till today cheesy grin

That's commonsense fact. They allow the new subsidy rate to bridge the gap between actual cost and selling price. Not a bad move if you ask me.
The lack of preparation for alternatives is what I blame govt for.

Oga Rewane...

Allow government intervene where necessary..

Increasing pump price more than what it is now is suicidal...we can't take it.

Make we just dey run am dey go now till further decrease comes on board..abeg..

Stylishly advocating for further increase in pump price will be catastrophic

So why did they rush to counter world bank when they said that Nigeria is still paying for fuel subsidy?

Why were APC e-rats attacking Rufai on Twitter when he said subsidy is back?

APC government is just full of lies and deceit.

This means that we should expect another criminal increment in the price of fuel when Tinubu eventually removes subsidy.

So we might be buying fuel close to 1k or more per liter, in the coming months.

Tinubu said it was removed na.

Nigerian Singer Rema was spotted in Lagos with American Justin Skye as they Partied together. They were in company of other Mavin stars, Ayra Starr and Crayon.

Remember that both Rema and Justine Skye were spotted together during a Crossover Service on new year's eve.

All this subsidy talk is just a way of cheating the masses. Pre-subsidy removal, Nigerians were lied to that subsidy benefits just a few (a big lie because subsidy IS THE ONLY THING EVERY NIGERIAN ENJOYED FROM GOVERNMENT). Post-subsidy removal, Nigerians are suffering the way they have never known.....only the few at the corridors of power and their cronies are still feeding fat while convincing the masses that the suffering is good for them. Quite absurd!

Never thought I would be happy to be proven right.

Subsidy still exists. So long as the government has a hand in price setting, there is a subsidy.

The show continues. And at the end of the day, nothing changes, until Nigerians are ready to face the fact that total removal of subsidy means better refineries, domestic refineries, etc.

But tinubu, like yer average politican, wants to win elections.

Never ever trust a Nigerian politican.
