Just last week, the Nigeria Governors’ Forum, NGF, took a swipe at the federal government for deductions from the federation accounts which it considered illegal – it also threatened disobedience.. The Nigeria Labour Congress, NLC, is up in arms – and, might it be added, rightly so – on the issue of removal of the subsidy on petrol.
There is the controversy on the Sovereign Wealth Fund, SWF. Still, President Jonathan, in far away Australia, was able to fete some Nigerians during the birthday celebrations of his wife. Yet, the pressure continues to mount that he should deliver on election promises. Amazingly, Petroleum Resources Minister, Daziani Alisson-Madueke, told the world in far away Australia that the government has not fixed a date for the removal of subsidy.
