Impact of Scrapping Fuel Subsidies in Africa
The removal of fuel subsidies in African countries such as Senegal, Ghana, and Nigeria has led to higher borrowing costs and crippling debts. This move has caused a spike in prices for diesel and petrol, triggering street protests by affected individuals. Nigeria, with its large population and oil abundance, saw the removal of subsidies result in steep rises in fuel prices, impacting the cost of goods and services, and leading to higher expenses for businesses and households. The decision to end subsidies has also had a ripple effect in neighboring countries like Cameroon, where fuel reforms in Nigeria have contributed to higher fuel prices and economic challenges for small business owners.
