Based on a survey conducted in 2023, the majority of respondents in almost every region in Nigeria reported that they approved of the fuel subsidy removal decision taken by the Nigerian federal government. The only exception was the South East geo-political zone, with 25 percent confirming their support, while 75 percent opposed this decision. On the other hand, 74 percent of respondents in the South West geo-political zone approved of the government's decision, while 26 percent reported that they were against it. 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.
