Purpose: The decision by the government to rightly remove the subsidy on fuel has caused conflict and controversies. This study examines the effect of fuel subsidy removal and the performance of SMEs in Awka, Anambra State. Method: The study adopted a survey research design, and data was collected with the aid of a questionnaire. The population of the study consists of 357 respondents randomly selected from four Small and Medium Enterprises in the Awka south local Government Area. The hypotheses were tested using simple linear regression. Results: The findings revealed that Fuel Subsidy removal significantly affects the cost of living and transport fare in the Awka South Local Government Area. Conclusions: It was concluded that the removal of fuel subsidies has led to a significant increase in transport fares and cost of living, particularly in local government areas of Nigeria and recommended that government should invest in vehicles that do not depend on fuel. Limitations: The study encountered drawbacks and limitations due to the uncooperative attitude of the respondents, who refused to fill out the questionnaire and some returned it without filling it. The problem was mitigated by revisiting and convincing them of the need to assist in completing the questionnaire. Contribution: The findings of this study will offer valuable insights that advance our understanding by employing rigorous statistical analysis. Research has quantified the short-term and long-term effects of subsidy removal on inflation, highlighting how fuel price hikes influence transportation, food prices, and household expenses.

Entrepreneurship disruptions have become a pervasive and transformative force in today's global business landscape. These disruptions are characterized by the rapid and often unpredictable changes that impact the way entrepreneurs conceive, launch, and operate businesses. In the modern era, the rapid pace of technological advancement and the rise of disruptive innovations have presented a significant challenge for entrepreneurs and established businesses alike. As entrepreneurs strive to identify and leverage disruptive opportunities, they face complex issues related to market dynamics, economic instability resource allocation, and competitive pressures. Moreover, the ever-accelerating rate of disruption necessitates a deeper understanding of how entrepreneurs can effectively navigate these challenges while staying innovative and sustainable. This study seeks to identify and analyse the experiences and challenges faced by businesses in their pursuit of sustainability during this disruptive era. Data were generated via the internet, newspapers, newsletters, libraries and other documented materials pertinent to the study. Findings revealed that there is a positive relationship between entrepreneurship disruptions and business sustainability in Nigeria. To fully harness disruptive entrepreneurship and achieve sustainability, regulatory reforms, technological advancements, changing consumer behaviour, infrastructure development, and increased access to funding are crucial. Consequently, to address these challenges and promote sustainability, it is imperative to conduct a comprehensive analysis of the experiences and challenges faced by businesses and individuals in the disruption era, businesses in Nigeria need to adopt innovative solutions, and collaborate with relevant stakeholders while keeping a close eye on regulatory changes and global trends.
