Fuel subsidies have long been a critical aspect of energy policy in Nigeria, aimed at making fuel affordable for its citizens. However, the implications of these subsidies extend beyond economic considerations, significantly impacting human security in various regions, including Nasarawa State. This study examines the impact of fuel subsidies on human security in Nasarawa State, focusing on dimensions such as economic stability, health, environmental sustainability, and social well-being. The study critically examines the literature, exploring existing theories, empirical studies, and historical contexts related to human security and its ramifications. This study employed a cross-sectional research design. A well-structured questionnaire was used to collect data from respondents. It is an applicable design to sample opinions, attitudes, or feelings to estimate how oil subsidy removal impacts human security in Nasarawa state. It is advantageous because it does more than uncover data; it also interprets, synthesizes, and integrates data and points to implications and inter-relationships.
