An opinion piece by Joshua Ocheja discusses the recent statement by Zacch Adedeji, chairman of the National Revenue Service, about the cost of fuel subsidies. Adedeji claimed Nigeria would have spent N53 trillion annually if subsidies had not been removed. Ocheja argues for a non-political analysis of the subsidy regime. He traces the history of subsidies since 1973 and calls for informed debate.
