Atiku is right, subsidy removal needs revisiting – 2
By Dele Sobowale Some called it lunacy; others were more polite in their condemnation of the idea of government reversing itself. Few did the rational thing when confronted with a proposal on a vital public interest.

Finally, FG addresses fiscal policy
Godwin Emefiele, the Governor of Central Bank of Nigeria, CBN, is one official who has my total sympathy.
