"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
"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
