Like most Nigerians, N-Katalyst, a patriotic non partisan network of individuals across different sectors who have deep commitment to the promotion of Nigerian unity and progressive change, are shocked at the revelations from the House Committee on Fuel Subsidy.
We have evidence before us of the most monumental mega corruption in our nation’s history.
Nigerians must rise and stop this massive looting of our resources and punish the culprits.

Good morning,
I want to urge the organiser of this programme not to stop here cos it really widen my horizon and gave me more insight on how to tackle corruption in Nigeria. I still stand with the comment I made that day in the area of confronting our religious leaders to stop recognising these common thieves if they refuse to heed the call non advising their flocks with the teachings of the holy books.
Above all,I felt fulfilled with the calibre of the speakers and after symposium chat with Mrs Uwais and Dr Otive Igbuzor.
Let’s continue to talk until we talk corruption out of Nigeria.

Good afternoon,
First, I have to appreciate your effort in making this programmes a reality and I urge you to push for bigger one and never give in fighting the monster and demonic corrupt few who decided to render majority of us with little or nothing.
I believe if we continue to talk,the House of Reps report on Petroleum subsidy won’t be swept under the carpet as usual but if we relax the report won’t see the light of the day.let’s demand the senate report on same to be made public(Sen Magnus Abe C’ttee).
Mass protest won’t solve this rather constant engagement through the means N-katalst has adopted which is organising symposium and also through the social media which is major constituiency.
Let’s reach out to more people in different towns and villages by creating awareness cos most of my brothers and sisters out there believes all hope is lost and those who loots our treasury remains powerful forever.
I still maintain my ground on taking this war to our religious leaders who most time trebles when these common thieves visits their places of worship thereby become scared to speak the truth.
I need your support in achieving all these. Let’s keep talking until we talk corruption out.
Above all, I thank Mrs Uwais and Dr Otive Igbuzor for the brief chat we had after the programme.
Thank you

The Presidency said yesterday that the probe of the fuel subsidy regime by the House of Reps which exposed massive fraud lacked credibility.
We should not dismiss the credibility of the report of the House just because of suspicions on the implication of the former Chair in corrupt deals. The fact of the matter is that the core findings are true but some of the culprits were removed from the report. Its good that some of the have been put back. The rest should also be put back and let the investigation and prosecution.
Nigerians, our eyes have all been on the House of Reps so far. While Farouk and his colleagues may deserve all the flogging they’ve received so far and more, we have at least gained from them a report on the fuel subsidy fraud, warts and all. Meanwhile, it seems the Senate is sleeping. Is it not time for us to wake up our dozing Distinguisheds? The fuel subsidy probe reportedly started in the Senate before House version started. Let’s break the silence in the Senate, please.
