Abstract

Poverty is, no doubt, a social phenomenon that cuts across all races, tribes and countries of the world. Where the difference lies is in the varying degrees of poverty in comparative terms, from one country to another. Particularly, the staggering level of poverty in Nigeria is a pointer to perilous times ahead, factoring in the dominant concepts of globalization and liberalization in global economics. The international poverty line was increased from $1 to $1.90 in September 2015, inadvertently pushing more Nigerians below poverty line. The extreme level of poverty in Nigeria is attributable to factors such as bad governance, unequal distribution of the nation's wealth, unemployment, injustice and marginalization, corruption, lack of education, among others. This study adopts structural-functionalism as the analytical framework to examine the effects of various interventions by international civil society organizations in Nigeria, on the level of poverty and the attainment of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). In addition, the qualitative method is used to collect data while content analysis was applied on data gathered through secondary method. The study observes that, for the level of poverty to reduce drastically in Nigeria, there is need for good and effective leadership, strong institutions, as well as public-private partnership in public delivery.

Abstract

Elite interest in energy policy reform has often been neglected in analysing subsidy removal policy on fossil fuel in Nigeria, which is the reason for this study. The study explained the reasons for the fossil fuel subsidy removal policy in Nigeria, identified the reasons for protests against fossil fuel subsidy removal policy in the country, and analysed the reasons for acceptance of protested fossil fuel subsidy removal policy in the country. Information for the study was obtained through a systematic review of 13 purposively selected peer-reviewed published journal articles between 1996 and 2023. Subsidy removal policy has been influenced by internal and external factors in Nigeria. Protests recorded against the policy have been noted to result from exploitation from the government and multinational oil companies, an increase in the poverty rate, an increase in the crime rate, a failed private investment quest, and a contradiction to the constitutional provisions on the welfare of the citizens. The acceptance of the policy is informed by the need to have sustainable access to fossil fuel, the capability of the government to provide services locally and nationally within the country, and the involvement of the labour unions in the negotiation on fuel subsidy removal. The study concluded that elite interest sustains subsidies removal policy on fossil fuel in the country
