GIVE US THIS DAY OUR DAILY FUEL

GIVE US THIS DAY OUR DAILY FUEL

Nigeria is an oil-rich nation but often lacks standard processes and infrastructure to refine crude oil, one of her natural resources. Refineries are poorly maintained, creating an avenue for the government to export crude oil to be refined abroad and imported by private oil marketers, which gets sold to citizens at a premium price. Unstable structure and fluctuation of foreign exchange rates often cause friction between these dealers and the government and create fuel scarcity. Motivated by greed and corruption, this crisis usually holds the activities and progress of the nation in a chokehold.

‘Give Us This Day Our Daily Fuel’ is a collective demand from the masses to the government so that people and livelihood can properly function. Accompanied by the jerry can installations, the idea is to illustrate the frustrations the helpless citizens experience and wastage of man-hours at fuel queues each time the disaster happens.
