Abstract Subsidies on petroleum products remain one of the most contentious socio-political economic issues in Nigeria. It is an issue that generates very strong emotions across the country's ideological and political divides. Every successive government since 1986 has tried to eliminate or at least reduce fuel subsidies for largely fiscal reasons, and public reactions have remained the same: violent opposition, nation-wide strikes, sometimes resulting in death and destruction of public properties. | ||
