"We cannot continue to waste resources meant
for a greater number of Nigerians to subsidise the affluent middle class, who
are the main beneficiaries (of fuel subsidy). We believe that as we progress,
government is going to continue to enlighten Nigerians on the need to remove
fuel subsidy." ~ President Goodluck Jonathan - January 2012
"Finally, for the avoidance of doubt and at the
risk of being repetitive, this administration is not considering the issue of
removal of fuel subsidy in the nearest future and certainly will not embark on
any such programme without extensive consultations and engagements across the
various segments, interests and stakeholders in the Nigerian polity."
~ Doyin Okupe (SSA to President Jonathan on Public
Affairs) - March 2013
