Why You Are Enjoying Cheap Fuel, Low Food Prices, Stable Naira, and Affordable University Education
If President Tinubu had not ended the fraudulent fuel subsidy scheme, the Dangote Refinery would not be where it is today, because Nigeria would have been flooded with cheap, inferior petrol that the Federal Government would still have to subsidise.
If President Tinubu had not initiated the Naira-for-Crude Policy to enable the Dangote Refinery to purchase crude oil in Nigerian currency, the pressure on the Naira would have resulted in a Naira-to-Dollar rate above ₦2000 per $1.
Because of the Naira-for-Crude Policy, local refining was boosted, foreign exchange was saved, the Naira was bolstered, and the economy grew.
So, when you see the pump price of petrol cracking from above ₦1000 to ₦739, it is because of the economic policies that President Tinubu initiated.
Now, the contagious effect of these policies is that it is now less expensive to move food from farms to markets and from ports to industries. The result of this is that food prices are lower.
For example, a 50-kilogram bag of rice, which was selling at ₦105,000 on this same date in 2025 (December 23rd), now goes for ₦55,000.
This is the first Yuletide season on record in Nigeria where the cost of fuel and food have SIMULTANEOUSLY reduced by a WIDE margin!
Nigeria is benefiting from having a First Class Accountancy graduate of Chicago State University and a former Treasurer of Mobil Oil Nigeria (now ExxonMobil).
If we had a Second Class graduate of Philosophy from the University of Nigeria as our President, none of this would be happening.
Remember that while others were building breweries to make our youths drink and engage in crime, Governor Bola Ahmed Tinubu initiated, started, completed, and commissioned the Millennium Secondary Schools in Lagos, including:
The Abibatu Mogaji Millennium Secondary School, Agege.
The Bola Ige Millennium Secondary School, Ajeromi.
The Babs Fafunwa Millennium Secondary School, Ojodu.
The Millennium Senior Secondary School, Egbeda.
And today, as President, he has continued to support education through his student loan initiative, which has now enabled the Nigerian Education Loan Fund to give loans that have enabled 780,000 students to attend university.
Today, and in 2027, do not forget who gave you abundant fuel at an affordable price all year long, including during the Yuletide period. Also, remember who made it possible for your children and siblings to get a university education.
