#Fuel Prices

Nigeria is experiencing its worst economic crisis in a generation. Annual inflation stands at more than 30%. Prices for food like yams, a staple food, are almost four times higher than last year.

New protests against the recent fuel hikes began the first week of September.

Protests, inspired by the protests in Kenya against IMF-imposed austerity, pushing poverty, encouraged protests to demand an end to the Nigerian President’s “shock doctrine.” The so-called shock therapies that the Nigerian president is currently using include the reduction of gas subsidies higher electrical costs, and the devaluing of the currency, which is like a pay cut for workers. That austerity allowed Nigeria to get a $2.25 billion loan from the World Bank and the austerity is celebrated by the banks. But not celebrated by the victims of the imperialist’s financial and economic war on the people.

Nigerians are protesting against a high cost of living, brought on by surging inflation and stagnating wages. Authorities fear the types of mass rallies that have been seen in other parts of Africa. Nigeria is bracing for a day of protests across cities and towns as people make known their anger over economic hardship that has persisted for years. Africa's most populous country, with a population of more than 210 million, is grappling with the country's worst cost-of-living crisis in a generation. The hardship is blamed on surging inflation, which is at a 28-year high, and the government's economic policies that have pushed the local currency to record low against the dollar. The price of petrol and the price of staple foods, such as rice, have shot up, while wages and salaries have remained stagnant. Nigerian President Bola Tinubi promised "renewed hope" when he was sworn into office in May 2023, but his government has struggled to create jobs. Now, protest organizers say they are determined to take matters into their own hands. Police block major roads in cities, organizers vow to press ahead with protests Local media reported that organizers rejected a proposal by Nigerian police to hold rallies in confined places — easily controlled by security forces. The government has, over the course of the year, offered to alleviate economic pain, including raising minimum salary levels and delivering grains to states across the country. But unions say the minimum wages fall far short of what is required to live a decent life. "We believe that this protest must go on regardless of the threat and intimidation," protest organizers said earlier this week.

Indirect taxes in the country however, have gone up. They may seem small and incremental, but are paid by every citizen whatever their income status. A daily wager and a millionaire pay the same tax when they buy a pack of butter – nearly 12 percent. “Rising fuel prices and indirect taxes have pushed up prices of essential commodities, including food, Bhardwaj added. “This has resulted in acute food insecurity and malnutrition, especially among children and women. Since the government started amassing indirect taxes, their spending in the social sector has gone down.” Mishra said. “This is mostly because the collection of indirect taxes just cancels the loss of corporate taxes.”

A study I’ve been doing over the last week before the end of the semester on change. Everyday walking to and from college, I pass this petrol station and each day the price has changed by a little bit or a lot, sometimes there’s a major jump. Mutate by dictionary definition is A Change In Form Or Nature. I wanted to track something I see pretty much everyday to see how it “ mutates ” on a day by day bases in relation to our brief temporary.
