Nigeria's Federal house of Representatives have just voted on the removal of fuel subsidy and it has voted that the removal should be suspended for now. The House asked that should be wider consultations and it set up a committe to dialogue with Labour and the Federal Government.
Is this victory for the Nigerian masses or just a temporary measure to ensure that the strike does not hold tommorrow. I believe its in the interest of this country that wider consultations are made to ensure that when the removal of the subsidy is finally done it will be of great benefit to the whole country.
In as much as the Federal Government seeks to gaurantee the future existence of this great country, it needs to quickly resolve the issue of porous borders through which a lot of goods pass through to destabilse our economy. Doing this would reduce the smuggling of contraband goods and improve the economy.
We await labour's reaction to this motion.
Stay blessed.
