Nigeria grapples with end of fuel subsidy
Earlier, YEN.com.gh reported that Nigerians were struggling with surging fuel prices after newly elected President Bola Tinubu declared an end to popular subsidies, a move analysts and experts said was long overdue.
On his first day in office, Tinubu kept to his campaign promise and announced an end to the long-running arrangement that had given Nigerians access to cheap petrol.
The continent's biggest economy is oil-rich but has meagre refining capacity. For years, it has swapped crude for gasoline, which it then subsidises for its domestic market. This has caused a significant drain on revenue foreign exchange and contributed to ballooning debt.
