Recently, the World Bank report, warns that increasing fuel subsidy puts the Nigerian economy at risk and negatively impacts the nation’s debt sustainability concerns.
Earlier, government had planned to stop paying fuel subsidy by June 2022 but by January this year it decided to retain the subsidy regime for another 18 months following Nigerian Labour Congress, NLC threats to shut the economy.

The IMF said corruption, political resistance impedes the removal of fuel subsidy in Nigeria.

The IMF predicted that the country will likely look to overdraft from the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) to fund the petrol subsidy bill.

The IMF’s resident representative for Nigeria, Ari Aisen, said that if the subsidy bill continues at the current rate of N500 billion per month, it is likely to reach N6 trillion at the end of the year.
