If we fail to taken down the failed government in Nigeria we shall all be doomed .
AMID growing concerns over possible hike in the prices of refined petroleum products in Nigeria, the Federal Government yesterday said it has no immediate plan to gut the subsidy currently being enjoyed by the citizens despite a tacit support from the International Monetary Fund (IMF) for its removal.
Nigeria’s Minister of Finance, Zainab Ahmed, who gave the government’s assurance at a closing press briefing by the Nigerian delegation at the just-concluded 2019 Spring Meetings of the World Bank and the IMF in Washington DC, said the government was still working on building the needed buffers to cushion possible shocks from subsidy removal and may not burden the citizens unnecessarily without credible alternatives.
Her explanation comes as rumours of imminent subsidy withdrawal and widespread cases of petroleum products scarcity and panic buying spread across major cities of the country.
According to her, “there is no imminent plan to re- move fuel subsidy. We are here to discuss with the global community on various policy issues .
“One of the issues that always come up in the report especially by the IMF as a corporate body is how we handle fuel subsidy.
The IMF is saying fuel subsidy is better removed so that you can use the re- sources for other important sectors.
“In principle, that is a fact . But in Nigeria, we don’t have plans to remove fuel subsidy at this time because we have not yet designed buffers that can enable us remove fuel subsidy and provide cushions for our people. So there is no plan to remove subsidy at the moment.
“We will be discussing with various groups if we have to. What are the alternatives? We have not yet found viable alternatives. So we are not yet at the point of removing fuel subsidy.”
The Minister also revealed that her delegation held discussions with the World Bank with a view to taking another $1billion loan to finance development of the power sector.
Her words: “We also met with the World Bank Power Sector team and discussed the way forward on the proposed $1billion Nigeria Performance Based Loan (PBL). We agreed to bring relevant MDAs together to ensure that we advance this operation in a timely manner.”
She said the government would also discuss the Country Portfolio Performance of Nigeria which currently stands at $9.8 billion with the Nigerian team at the World Bank on how to manage the portfolio for optimum results.
Ahmed, who briefed alongside the Minister of Budget and National Planning, Udoma Udo Udoma, and Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, Godwin Emefiele, assured the Muhammadu Buhari administration was already working hard to create the necessary buffers for citizens before considering the IMF advice to remove subsidy.
Earlier in her opening press briefing at the ongoing Spring Meetings of the World Bank and the Inter- national Monetary Fund, (IMF) , in Washington DC, Managing Director of the IMF, Christine Lagarde, had advised Nigerian government to remove all forms of subsidies to en- able it raise more money to fund its dilapidated infrastructure and improve the living standards of the people given its poor tax to GDP status in comparison to others countries in its income bracket . This was even as she disclosed that a whopping $5.2trillion has so far been spent by oil producing nations on fuel subsidy in over four years.
Meanwhile, in a related development, the minister hinted of a plan by the Federal Government to launch a N15billion Green Bond to generate more resources to finance agriculture, solar power, and water supply projects.
According to her, the Bond which is being pack- aged by the Debt Management Office (DMO) is coming after the successful implementation of the first one floated by the Federal Government.
The Anambra State House of Assembly on Wednesday outlawed expensive funerals in the state.
Passing the bill entitled a Law To Control Burial/Funeral Ceremonial Activities in the State, the House said it had become an offence to hold a funeral for more than a day in the state.
Before this development, communities had held funerals on an average of three days.
But the bill sponsored by the member representing Anaocha II constituency, Charles Ezeani stated that “Burial/funeral control bill is aimed at cutting down the cost of burial activities in the state”.
The bill provided that in the event of death, “No person shall deposit any corpse in the mortuary or any place beyond two months from the date of the death, while burial ceremonies in the state shall be for one day.”
The law prohibited destruction of property, gunshots, praise-singing, blocking of roads and streets during burial ceremonies in the state.
The bill also provided that, “No person shall subject any relation of the deceased person to a mourning period of more than one week from the date of the burial ceremony”.
It further stipulates that during burial and funeral ceremonial activities, the family of the deceased “shall provide food for their kindred, relatives and other sympathizers at their own discretion.
Speaking to newsmen, Ezeani said a monitoring and implementation committee that would enforce the law would be put in place when the governor assents it.

Zamfara born Kadaria Ahmed is a Journalist with high reputaion in Nigeria.
She anchored NTA Presidential Candidates Town Hall Series.
She knew and understood the security challenges of her State and other parts of Nigeria, especially the North.
She also knew this government have failed her people and Nigeria at large with respect to issues on security of lives and properties.
She had the chance to bring this government failure forward during her interview with President Mohamed Buhari.
But did she? No she did not.
She was one of the strongest voices that mobilized Northern Nigeria to support APC government, especially her own state, Zamfara.
But today, her sister has fallen victim of inseucrity in Zamfara State.
Her people are being killed without mercy and the government of APC which the loved so much have abandon them.
Kadaria can no longer travel to her home State and she is crying bitterly.
What is happening in Nigeria is a clear indication that Nigeria is a failed State and the current government is a failed government.
“Igbo have failed politically for two reason, not to accept the light that has come to them and also not to appreciate the leaders that have come to help them.”
“Elections have come and gone and we are dealing with the outcome. For the Imo West senatorial election, somebody said that he declared the result under duress. The truth is that the gentleman was employed to do a hatchet job and he could not do that.”
“The drama is that he had another option he wanted to declare it in Owerri, at first he said there was no result and at a point he entered the toilet and suddenly he saw the results sheets and shouted who dropped this result here.”
“What it means is that there is a game. I think that the INEC, should do the needful. We are in court and I think that we don’t need much procedure to do the right thing.”
