How many people were poor before the administration of Buhari, and how many people end up being poor? In fact, the money that was shared by Buhari end up impoverishing the people more because you have 130 million people that are said to be in deeper poverty.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Speaking further, he contended that if the FG goes ahead with the plan to share the loan, \u201cit will be \u2018suicidal\u2019 and that there\u2019s no difference in borrowing to pay for subsidy. Rather, the money should be used to support businesses so they can grow,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>He maintained that for things to work after the removal of fuel subsidy, the right structures must be in place, including support for farmers to produce food and an increase in the minimum wage at the same time.<\/p>\n<div class=\"yj6qo\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"adL\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A former federal lawmaker who represented Kaduna Central in the 8th assembly, Shehu Sani, has called on the federal government to shelve the idea of sharing N8000 palliative following the&hellip;<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":106321,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-106320","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.8 -
