Fayemi<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Kayode Fayemi, chairman of the Nigeria Governors\u2019 Forum, stated on Thursday that state governors had no say in whether or not to keep the fuel subsidy.<\/p>\n

During a news conference following a meeting of the Governors, Mr Fayemi made the remark.<\/p>\n

The group \u201cconcluded to engage the leadership of the Nigeria Labour Congress and the Trade Union Congress on how best to address this issue without causing any dissension but with a view to recovering the Nigerian economy for the Nigerian people,\u201d according to the Ekiti State Governor.<\/p>\n

However, he argued that the decision wasn\u2019t one for the Governors to make.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor us at the forum, it is a matter that is a going concern. We don\u2019t have a definite issue on it because it is left to the Petroleum Industry Act. It is not for us. NNPC is now a private company and the company should decide what it wants to do with the price of its products. It shouldn\u2019t really be the business of Governors.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is not up to sub-nationals to decide on what happens to PMS pricing. It is an entirely exclusive responsibility of the Federal Government.<\/p>\n

\u201cHowever, we are critical stakeholders and we are members of the National Economic Council, so we contribute to debates in the Council.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
