About this episode
As reactions continue to trail former Vice President Atiku Abubakar’s promise to restore fuel subsidy if elected president in 2027, the debate over the policy is once again gaining attention.
For many Nigerians, the idea of cheaper petrol sounds like welcome relief at a time when transportation, food and other living costs remain high.
But what would restoring fuel subsidy actually mean for the country’s economy?
How much would it cost the government, and where would the money come from?
And while cheaper petrol could provide immediate relief for Nigerians, would the policy be sustainable in the long run?
Today on Nigeria Daily, we are looking at what restoring fuel subsidy could mean for Nigerians.
