Yes, fuel subsidy removal in Nigeria can hurt poor citizens particularly those who rely on fuel for their livelihoods due to the negative impacts that may arise. The immediate effect of subsidy removal is an increase in fuel prices, which can have a ripple effect on the prices of goods and services, leading to higher inflation. This can make it harder for the poor to afford basic necessities such as food, transportation, and healthcare. The poor in Nigeria mainly rely on public transportation for mobility. An increase in fuel prices resulting from subsidy removal can lead to a rise in transportation costs, which can be particularly burdensome for low-income earners.
