FUEL SUBSIDY: THE NATION STAND TO BENEFIT

Please my fellow Nigerian, let us give the President a chance to try his policies on fuel sudsidy removal and the deregulation of the economy. Though the impact will be felt in the short term but i hope we stand to gain much from this policy in the long term; lets take a typical example from the stopage of motor cycle as a means of transportation in Calabar the Cross River State Capital, it was difficult to move from one place to the other in the first two or three month as well as rendering many cyclist jobless but in the long run we have seen and felt the impact of the govt. decision to ban OKADA in Calabar – Less car/bike accident within the city, less fatality, a more healthy environment. The hitherto jobless cyclist have also ceased the ‘unfortunate’ circumstance to learn one trade or the other while others have learned how to drive cars and thus turned taxi drivers. Fellow Nigerian youths and elders, lets give our President a chance as we still have time to revolt should the policy fail in the first year or two.
