Photo by Lloyd Freeman I will break down fuel subsidies for you and explain why there is always drama and chaos whenever any government administration mentions the term 'fuel subsidy'. What Is Fuel Subsidy, And What Is The Government Subsidising? Fuel subsidy refers to a policy where the government covers a porti...
