Nigerians Should Learn To Live With Hardship - Petrol Minister, Alison, Madueke
According to Diezani, “We cannot eat
our cakes and have it. We cannot keep calling out for transparency and
accountability and pointing at corruption if we are not prepared to bear
some of the hardship that will obviously come when you are trying to
clean up a sector.”
The minister further went on to attribute the
commodity’s scarcity to the present administration’s policy of making
subsidy verifications before payments are made disclosing that already,
the move had started to pay off. “The verifications were being
done; payments could not be made by Finance and I think they have said
that severally, but the verifications have been done; payments are now
being made and like I said the queues have actually begun to go down,”
she said.
