Naira Stability Linked to Fuel Subsidy End | Nigeria News

Nigeria’s naira is steadier thanks to the government’s bold move to scrap fuel subsidies and ramp up local refining—especially with the massive Dangote refinery now churning out gasoline, diesel, and aviation fuel. While citizens feel the pinch at the pump, experts like NARTO president Yusuf Othman argue this sacrifice is vital for long-term economic health by reducing foreign exchange demand. Yet political rivals like Atiku Abubakar want to bring back subsidies, while Peter Obi calls for smarter spending. The federal government stands firm, citing three years of progress and newfound revenue that’s funding infrastructure. Human rights lawyer Femi Falana adds that with more money flowing into government coffers, Nigerians must now demand accountability to ensure it’s used wisely—not just on paper.
