 We apologize for the quality of the audio in that report. Moving on. Reactions are trailing the Nigerian governor's forum stand on the removal of fuel subsidy, while energy experts say it should go beyond statement. Lagos residents believe it will bring more hardship to the common man. Plus TV Africa's Destiny Momo x-rays the opinions of residents and not reports. The actual meeting the Nigerian governor's forum considered the report of a committee headed by KADNAS state governor Nasir El-Roufai and accepted its recommendation that backfold the regulation of petrol, suggesting that the pump prize of the product should hover around 385 Naira per litre. The committee recommended that the removal of subsidies should be immediate to save the nation's economy. Following this development, energy analyst Bodesh Soumi speaks of the need for evidence or it would only amount to a price increase. Well, the first thing is that was there is subsidy in the first place. And even though it's a subsidy, how do we know the subsidy has actually been removed? In simple terms, we need to know the parameters for the subsidy. We need to understand the parameters for the subsidy. Unsurprisingly, Edis has brought mixed reactions from residents as we feel the pulse of commuters and transporters on the streets of Lagos. They only have grim expressions, believing that had times will only linger. For the past 10 or 15 years now, we have added that the subsidy has been removed. So why now are we seeing the subsidy? Every government came and said, okay, they are removing subsidy. Removing the subsidy could be a good idea, but I feel the people need to be empowered first. If they remove the subsidy, then the commuters is ready to pay for more. From Miqeja to the island here is 700 naira. How much? Multiply it by 30 days or 24 days. And then how much are you paying the worker? Bodesh Soumi also speaks on some issues concerning OPEC cuts, smuggling and how the economy can be saved. Production, they are basically looking at the economics of petrol home products. In other words, it's a demand and supply economy. So they are looking at a situation in which there is less products available in the market, so that such that the prices of those products can go up. We have had crude oil at less than $50. Some of the reasons why the price has gone up is because of the OPEC cuts. While some governors are in full agreement of subsidy removal, others oppose saying it will cost more hardship for Nigerians. Destin Momo for Plus TV Africa.
