Abstract :
This study analized the influence of petrol
subsidy removal on food security among Kebbi State
households in Nigeria. The study applied a primary data
aided by a binary logistic model which were obtained from
the respondents using a questionnaire approach. The
strategy adopted in this study revealed an interesting
finding as all the variables of interest were found to
significantly affect food security. Petrol subsidy removal,
food inflation, and transport fare negatively affect the food
security of households on the other hand rise in food
expenditure augments food security. Recommended by the
study that, the government should imbibe serious
commitment to checkmate pervasive corruption on the
issue of subsidy payment rather than just removing it
completely.
