Fuel subsidy removal is the process of eliminating government subsidies on fossil fuels, particularly gasoline or petrol. The subsidies are intended to reduce the cost of fuel paid by consumers, but they can also contribute to budget deficits and inefficient use of resources. The removal of fuel subsidies can have significant impacts on the economy and society, particularly for people on low incomes. In Nigeria, for example, the recent removal of fuel subsidies has left many citizens concerned about their ability to afford basic necessities like food, healthcare, and education. However, proponents of subsidy removal argue that it can promote sustainable and equitable outcomes by reducing emissions, promoting energy security, and freeing up resources for targeted social spending and productive investments. The impacts of fuel subsidy removal can vary depending on the specific context and policies implemented to mitigate its effects. In Nigeria, for instance, the government has promised to implement social cushioning and protection measures to help mitigate the impact of subsidy removal on low-income citizens.
