26. 'Is Nigeria's fuel subsidy still worth fighting for?' ft. Camilla Houeland
Manage episode 444865838 series 3607512
We explore the origins of Nigeria's fuel subsidy and popular resistance to its removal, aided by sociologist Camilla Houeland (@CamillaHoueland) -- a researcher at the Fafo, Norway, and associate professor in Sociology and Human Geography at the University of Oslo. Have Nigeria's Labour Unions given up on resisting the removal of the subsidy? What should we make of environmentalist criticisms of policies that seem to promote the use of fossil fuels? Why do petrol subsidies remain an important point of leverage for Nigerian working class and poor households? How might some of the flaws and fraudulent loopholes of the subsidy be reformed?
