Abstract

This paper discussed the impact of fuel subsidy removal on operational dynamics of Nigeria educational institutions. Secondary data were used in the paper. The data were collected from print and online publications. The paper concluded that increment in the operational cost of schools, increment in school transportation fares, increment in school fees, increment in prices of instructional materials, reduction in hours of the teaching programme, and learning programme and delay in payment of school fees are the effect of subsidy removal on Nigerian educational institutions. Based on the effect identified, the paper recommended an investment of 20% of subsidy funds on education, provision of school buses to all educational institutions, provision of instructional resources for basic and secondary school institutions, commencement of scholarship and bursaries programmes for tertiary institutions students, review and increase the salaries and allowances of staff of educational institutions at all levels.
