Nigeria's Economy: Fuel Subsidy Gone, Inflation Falls, But Where's the Relief?

Nigeria's 2027 elections, President Bola Tinubu's economic reforms and the rising cost of living dominate the Sunday newspaper review on Breakfast Xtra. The presenters discuss the federal government's position on fuel subsidy removal, reported inflation figures, and whether economic improvements are reaching ordinary Nigerians. They also consider the Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway, poverty, political handouts and the growing dependence of vulnerable communities on financial assistance. Attention turns to Tinubu's re-election strategy, shifting political alliances involving Nyesom Wike, Ademola Adeleke and Charles Soludo, and concerns over delays in Nigeria's 2027 budget. The discussion also covers rising transport fares, access to fuel discounts, healthcare worker shortages, alleged misconduct in universities, insecurity and the destruction of seized weapons. As political parties prepare for the 2027 general elections, the presenters question whether government policies, major infrastructure investments and political promises are translating into better living conditions for Nigerians.
