President Bola Tinubu’s decision to end fuel subsidies was a major shift in Nigeria's economic approach, marking a decisive moment in his administration. While the subsidy removal aimed to free up government funds for critical infrastructure, healthcare, and education, it also triggered an immediate rise in fuel prices, leading to widespread inflation and affecting the everyday lives of Nigerians. The impact has been especially harsh on the average Nigerian, who now faces increased costs in transportation, food, and basic necessities. For a policy designed to enhance the economy, the initial effects seem counterproductive.
