Abstract:
From the history of fuel price hike in Nigeria, the decision by Governments to increase fuel price have always prompted agitations. The purpose of this study therefore was to compare among others the reactions of Nigerians to fuel price hike during Jonathan and Buhari's administration in 2011 and 2017. In the course of this research, it was established that Nigerians had negative view to fuel price hike during Jonathan's administration unlike the Buhari's administration were their views were rated positive and reacted accordingly. The study also established a relationship between the high level of confidence in the Buhari administration and a low level of confidence in the Goodluck administration, thus the reason for the negative reaction to the Goodluck administration during fuel price hike in 2011 and a rather fair acceptance of fuel price hike during the administration of Buhari in 2017. Based on the findings of the study it was concluded that Nigerians reacted negatively to fuel price increase during Jonathan's administration in 2011 and reacted positively to fuel price hike during Buhari's administration in 2017. Based on the foregoing, the following recommendations have been proffered to solving these issue; completion of public projects, adherence to the rule of law, social justice and Priority and cognizance for infrastructural enhancement.
