2027: Show economic plans beyond fuel subsidy promises, Maduekwe tasks presidential candidates

As Nigeria approaches the 2027 presidential elections, energy expert and Puttru founder Monica Maduekwe has challenged presidential aspirants to move beyond competing promises on fuel subsidies and demonstrate a credible understanding of the country’s deeper economic constraints.In her latest essay, ‘2027 Elections and the Band-Aid Called Fuel Subsidy’, Maduekwe argues that Nigeria’s recurring subsidy debate reflects a longstanding failure to transform the country’s economic structure and reduce its exposure to volatile commodity revenues.
