He would have removed subsidy from day one also, Maduka stated.Businessman weigh in on economic hardshipThe government should be more disciplined to use the money they have removed in the subsidy to put it in infrastructure so that people that you have taken from, those who have been flying private jets from subsidy money, their businesses fall. But if you collect that money from them and put it in ventures that favor the general public, then there is progress, he explained.If you move from one tomb to another, you are still in the same graveyard.

But if you are borrowing to take a second wife, if you are borrowing to share money for poverty alleviation, you are deepening the hole that, after we get inside, nobody can bring us out, he stated.There is some level of discipline that is required to curtail excesses from the government.
