Reasons for respondents that support the removal of fuel subsidy in Nigeria 2023
According to a survey conducted in 2023, 30 percent of respondents stated that the main reason for their support of the Nigerian federal government's decision to remove the fuel subsidy was that this would curb corruption in the oil industry, while 28 percent believed that this decision would help grow other sectors of the economy. According to the source, this decision was taken by the government to lighten its economic burdens, as the cost of maintaining the fuel subsidy has increased over the years.
