Today is my Investiture as Fellow of Chartered Institute of Personnel Management of Nigeria.The highest membership grade one can attain as a Human Resource Professional in Nigeria. It's my season of Elevation. I give God all the glory for making this possible.

[Kalu Aja @FinPlanKaluAja1]

When the coastal road project was announced, VP Atiku stated that the cost was overblown and claimed that the Tinubu administration was building the road at a cost of N8 billion per kilometre.

This interview in 2024 was the response of the Works Minister to the claim by VP Atiku on N8b, he said, and I quote

“You will find out that our cost is N4bn instead of the N8bn claimed by the former vice president.”

Today, the same Minister of Works agrees with VP Atiku that the figure is near N8b and overblown.

The works minister also said the total FGN commitment will be 15% to 30% meaning the bulk of the $11b will be sourced by the contractor

Now, here is the “sweet part”: the FGN took its counterpart funding and built the Lagos Axis of the road. Well played, President Tinubu.

I have maintained from day one that this road will start and stop where the FGN funds or guarantees are available. Who will give Hitech $7b to invest in a road in the Niger Delta?

Has the road not been commissioned? Dey play.

But we are a praying people, so let's pray

Tinubu removed PMS Subsidy, generated trillions in new revenues, then imposed a new 5% regressive fossil fuel tax on all citizens that use PMS, Aviation fuel and Diesel.

Exemptions include clean and renewable energy products, kerosine, cooking gas and CNG. On CNG, the price has gone up as the FGN has removed the subsidy on CNG.

I am not sure the wisdom of taxing locally refined fossil fuels in a fossil fuel nation. if the intent is to change behavior and have a cleaner environment why not use the revenues generated from removal of PMS subsidies to subsidize green power sources?

Why tax fossil fuels, offer an exemption in CNG, then remove the subsidy on CNG?

WHAT SORT OF ECONOMICS IS THIS?
