Prudent Management, Not Subsidy, Is What Nigeria Needs From Its Next President

07 Sep 2026

I repeat: subsidy will be mismanaged. What Nigeria needs is a prudent manager of resources, not another round of subsidy payments. Prudent management alone could bring fuel prices down to around N650 per litre without subsidy. Atiku is not talking about figures because he knows his proposed subsidy would only produce a marginal reduction, to […]

Two Scam Artists: How Nigeria’s Leaders Keep Recycling The Same Fuel Subsidy Lie

27 Aug 2026

Tinubu knew Buhari’s rhetoric about lowering fuel prices was hogwash. But being a scam artist — a “master strategist,” in the all-is-fair-in-politics sense of grab, snatch, and run — he latched onto it anyway, using the populist Buhari as his ladder into power. Once in office, he executed a double-whammy policy reversal: removing fuel subsidies […]
