I stopped tweeting/talking like this, especially about Nigeria. Govt has been asking Nigerians to sacrifice almost all social benefits; and not a single portion of their lifestyle has changed. Remove subsidy but it's business as usual for officials to go on publicly-funded trips.
The reality is BILLIONS (Naira) are owed to Power Generation companies because our value chain LACKS APPROPRIATE PRICING
ELECTRICITY IS NOT CHEAP! Bite the bullet and face the truth!
Electricity subsidies MUST GO!

@asemota
If the government removes subsidy, what are our assurances that the funds would be channeled to other sectors appropriately, and not siphoned as usual?
Subsidy is like eating our tomorrow today, but honestly, I don't trust our government. Let them pay it.

DISCOs should have firstly distributed prepaid meters for effective revenue collection.
🇳🇬 Govt has failed to develop our gas network infras for devt hence the clamour for electricity subsidy removal to incentivize gas investors.
China heavily subsidizes energy usage

Exactly.
This is what Rotus refuses to understand.
His one track economic theory is blinding him to the Nigerian reality. The people have been overburdened already but lawmakers can buy cars worth billions.
