Successive governments in Nigeria have announced reduction in the amount of subsidy it is paying on petroleum products persistently. The study used qualitative data in its investigation. The study found out that fuel subsidy removal had both positive and negative impact on the governments\u2019 poverty alleviation policies. The study recommends that government should put adequate measures on ground in order to ensure that fuel subsidy removal do not have adverse effect on its poverty alleviation policies because poverty alleviation policies are essentially tools in addressing the impact of fuel subsidy removal.<\/p>\n<h2>Authors<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>IBRAHIM KASIM  KESINTON (DEPARTMENT OF POLITICAL SCIENCE, IBRAHIM BADAMASI BABANGIDA UNIVERSITY, LAPAI NIGER STATE)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Keywords<\/h2>\n<p>Subsidy, Fuel Subsidy, Policy, livelihood, Poverty Alleviation<\/p>\n<h2>References<\/h2>\n<p>References not available for this article.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This article was originally published as: FUEL SUBSIDY REMOVAL AND GOVERNMENT POLICY ON POVERTY ALLEVIATION IN NIGERIA (2015 \u2013 2023)&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":21,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[124],"tags":[2921,2588,2405,2920],"class_list":["post-6141","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-articles","tag-fuel-subsidy","tag-livelihood","tag-poverty-alleviation","tag-subsidy","wpcat-124-id"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.8 -
