Latest CBN News, Update On Naira Notes For March 11th, 2023
Posted on: March 12, 2023, 10:55:29 AM
The Buhari administration should not take heart from the fact that Nigerians are tough and can shamble through any hardship. Those in power have less than three, but Nigerians are already desperate and frustrated due to the government's misguided policies. The people have only been holding on because they believe their suffering will soon end. Nigerians should be commended for their composure when the conclusion was closer than they realized.

Which nation's population would be the most submissive if the government blocked their access to their own money? Since the government and its institutions have failed Nigerians so badly, few people there has any faith in them.

While the court had already approved using the older notes, he said it was unacceptable for certain people and companies to continue rejecting them. To guarantee that the judgement is followed to the letter, the State Government formed a powerful committee.

Dr Charles Imole, a well-known public analyst and economist, has expressed his disappointment in President Muhammadu Buhari and CBN Governor Godwin Emefiele for remaining silent in the wake of the Supreme Court's ruling legalizing old Naira notes till December 31.
