flag Nigeria suspends 15% fuel import tariff to stabilize prices and promote fair competition.

flag Nigeria’s government has suspended a proposed 15% fuel import tariff, averting potential price spikes and stabilizing the economy amid rising inflation and a cost-of-living crisis. flag The move ends decades of policies favoring a single private refinery, breaking entrenched monopolies and protecting consumers from inflated prices. flag By preventing a single entity from dominating fuel supply, the decision supports market competition, safeguards the informal sector, and helps maintain macroeconomic stability. flag Analysts warn reliance on one underperforming refinery poses risks, emphasizing the need for reforms that prioritize public welfare over private profit. flag The reversal reflects a shift toward state leadership focused on national interest.
