Nigeria launches NigComSat 1R in China

"Today, (which was yesterday Monday Dec 19th) I want to congratulate all Nigerians on the successful launch of Nigeria’s satellite NigComSat-1R. This satellite will enhance our nation’s communications system and increase Internet bandwidth throughout the federation while substantially reducing the over $1 billion cost incurred from the usage of foreign owned satellites for e-commerce activities of both governmental and private sector users all of which are a fulfilment of the goals contained in our nation’s 25-year National Space Development Road-map. There cannot be Transformation without technology and the technological benefits from this satellite will flow to all Nigerians whether rural or urban dweller and would also provide the infrastructure needed to provide cashless e-commerce transactions for all Nigerians thus opening up Nigerian businesses and enterprises to markets that are not limited by space or time."

Thank you very much sir, we appreciate! Now how about not removing the fuel subsidy? We will appreciate that even more. Fuel scarcity is gradually creeping into Lagos. Fill your tanks guys, I hear the coming days will be hellish at the gas stations as they begin to hoard fuel pending when they can sell at over N100 after the fuel subsidy removal.
