Abstract

The paper looks into how Nigerian SMEs, particularly those in the block-making industry, have been impacted by the removal of fuel subsidies and discusses potential solutions to help them get over challenges and seize new opportunities. It specifically examines the ideas of fuel subsidies, small and medium-sized businesses, and the block-making sector; assesses the financial effects of eliminating fuel subsidies on SMEs, especially those in the block-making sector; and finds potential remedies to the severe financial effects on SMEs, especially those in the block-making sector. The study adopted exploratory and qualitative research methods to determine the deeper understanding of the subject and influence of the removal of fuel subsidy on the growth and development of SMEs in Nigeria, which in turn showed the motivating factors behind the reactions of the entrepreneurs in the block-making industries and how it negatively affected their operations and economic activities of the industries.
