What I don\u2019t know is what time was appropriate for the removal. How prepared was the Tinubu government when he announced the removal?<\/em>\u00a0he asked.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>He revealed that when asked by his family what he would have done differently, his response was clear:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>I would remove the subsidy, but I would not remove it without social housing. With the money saved from subsidy removal and Naira devaluation, we could build between 200,000 and 300,000 houses.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Amaechi argued that a large-scale housing project would have multiple benefits, including job creation and economic stimulation.<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cIf you build between 200,000 and 300,000 houses in the states, how many jobs have you created? At least 300,000 bricklayers, 300,000 carpenters, and 300,000 plumbers. By the time you do those things, what have you done? You have put money in the hands of the people.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Amaechi also lamented the widening gap between the rich and poor in Nigeria, noting that a functional middle class no longer exists.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>The last time we had the middle class was under President Olusegun Obasanjo. He created an economy that generated jobs. Even though some argued it was a shaky middle class that disappeared at the end of every month when salaries were paid, at least we had a middle class.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>He continued:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>Now, it\u2019s either you are rich or you are poor. If social housing and investments in agriculture had been implemented alongside subsidy removal, people would not feel the impact as harshly as they do now.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Amaechi stressed that the government should use funds saved from subsidy removal on projects that directly benefit citizens and create economic opportunities.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Amaechi proposes building 200,000-300,000 houses to create jobs and mitigate economic hardship following fuel subsidy removal Former
