Riassunto

This research investigates bloggers' responses to the economic implications of the 2023 fuel subsidy removal in Nigeria. Focusing on workers' unions, it identifies the various ways blogs have been used to criticize, analyze, and influence public opinion on this policy change. Through survey data from Makurdi, the study highlights the significant role of blogs in shaping discourse around public policy, showing that blogs are predominantly utilized for data presentation, advocacy, and opinion sharing. The study also identifies key challenges such as information overload, political bias, and credibility issues that bloggers face in discussing the subsidy removal. The findings underscore the potential of blogs as a platform for public engagement and policy critique, while also suggesting the need for increased accuracy and trustworthiness in blog content on sensitive economic issues.
