According
to a report by Vanguard, President Buhari plans to totally remove fuel
subsidy and use the proceeds for the provision of free and compulsory
primary/ secondary education
across the country. The administration is also said to be working on
unbundling the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation, NNPC, to make it
more efficient in the production and delivery of products to Nigerians.
These proposals form part of the strong recommendations made by the transition committee raised by Buhari to work out a blueprint for his administration.
Asked if the proposal for total subsidy removal had been discussed with
labour, the source said that members of organized labour in the country
were consulted by the committee and they made presentations on what
should be done over the matter.
The source said:
“
Labour is part of the decision; they have accepted the proposal of fuel
subsidy removal. “A committee is likely to be set up by the federal
government to work out the modalities of what is to be done in that
respect. “But the truth is that total removal of fuel subsidy has been
recommended with adequate provisions for palliatives on free education
and social welfare for the unemployed”, a member of the transition
committee said.
The source pointed out that unlike in the
past, the Buhari administration is considering the provision of free
meals for students to serve as incentives for them to enroll in school.
