Who were the fuel subsidies for? The gas companies or the consumers? If they were for the gas companies what was the outrage over?

The whole issue stems around the president not having any agenda and just playing it all by ear. I'm all about ending fossil fuel subsidies, but subsides should be setup for alternative fuels at the very least, especially for the biggest country in Africa.
