Dyepkazah ShibayanBabatunde Fashola, minister of works and housing, says the naira redesign policy of the Central Bank of Nigeria “is hurting Nigerians” and needs to be reviewed.It initially fixed January 31 as the deadline but many Nigerians have not been able to get the new N200, N500, and N1000 notes, prompting a scarcity.
Speaking with Morayo Afolabi-Brown, a talk show moderator, on Wednesday on Instagram Live, Fashola said Bola Tinubu, presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress , was fighting for Nigerians when he expressed concern about the scarcity of the new notes.“I feel sympathy for the Nigerian people and what they have had to go through.
“In spite of the fact the CBN has acted within the spirit and letters of its independence by law, it is important to remember that we serve the public and the public says it is hurting, it is important to take a step back and ask where it is hurting and how we can make it better. It must not be a matter of ego.
“All the credit must go to our candidate being one of the first strong voices, first voice out of the candidates to speak out in Abeokuta.“Though some were quick to say he was fighting Buhari or he was fighting his own party but it is his nature as a fighter for people. Our candidate hasn’t said don’t change the naira but it is hurting people.The minister said he was never a puppet to Tinubu while he was the governor of Lagos but he consulted with him because “of his experience”.
“When I was governor I realized that someone sat in my chair for eight years, that person is still alive, that person has had time to reflect, that person would have made mistakes and I told myself if I wanted to succeed I shouldn’t learn from my own mistakes I should learn from his experience,” he said.
cenbank GodwinIEmefiele I think the CBN govt should make available more of 20, 50 and 100naira notes. Direct all banks to stock their ATM with 50 and 100naira notes while the internet band should be upgraded for smooth online transaction. don't print more 2h, 5h & 1k notes at the moment stopvotebuying
cenbank GodwinIEmefiele Who is he telling? Is he no longer part of the government?
cenbank GodwinIEmefiele We’re all out for War! This is no Joke anymore
cenbank GodwinIEmefiele As if you care abeg buzz off
cenbank GodwinIEmefiele Thank God he is a minister
cenbank GodwinIEmefiele If anybody should be sanctioned or punish in the cause of the scarcity of the new naira Note should be the MDS of all the banks across Nigeria for not compliance with the CBN rules and directives.
cenbank GodwinIEmefiele We keep blaming the CBN governor but no one has even call on the MDs of all the banks Nigeria and verify the position of the CBN governor. Why because '' corruption '' everybody is looking elsewhere. For me the so call upper and lower Chambers should be scrape off because they
cenbank GodwinIEmefiele No it must not.. Don't act as if you care about Nigerians... We bear rubbish in this country but any reviews should be left for the next government
cenbank GodwinIEmefiele They should start giving out 200 naira notes instead of 1000. There is no 200 naira for change
cenbank GodwinIEmefiele Who is this cam coder
cenbank GodwinIEmefiele Dead policy
cenbank GodwinIEmefiele Sure
cenbank GodwinIEmefiele It's not funny atall.
cenbank GodwinIEmefiele Must? Smh
cenbank GodwinIEmefiele It’s not hurting us out all. It’s only hurting vote buying
cenbank GodwinIEmefiele When Nigerian youth were slaughtered, you didn't complain, when palliatives where hoarded , you were mute,no fuel,no light,no good road etc etc no sound just because they touched the money parked in safe houses you now found your voice, êvïl beings
cenbank GodwinIEmefiele It always really looks like a foreign currency 💲💵 💶 💷 to everyone in the country.
cenbank GodwinIEmefiele The champion of cashless policy as Lagos governor has changed his mind. What APC will do to you, unimaginable.

cenbank GodwinIEmefiele It will be reviewed after elections Mr fashola

cenbank GodwinIEmefiele How will get here is still what I don't understand.Okay...Dey play ⏯️▶️⏯️
cenbank GodwinIEmefiele Shut up
cenbank GodwinIEmefiele My take is that since atiku and officialABAT has credible evidence of corruption against each other, I appeal to both of them to step aside for PeterObi whose only crime is saving money and investing it for future. His KwankwasoRM is our only worthy opponent now.
cenbank GodwinIEmefiele Government people opposing government policy!
cenbank GodwinIEmefiele Am sure you have not driven on road from Abuja to your village and you will see what's worst than scarcity of currency notes
cenbank GodwinIEmefiele This is Consequences of Bola Ahmed Tinubu shouting BUHARI! BUHARI!! BUHARI!!! Like he knew what he’s capable of doing
cenbank GodwinIEmefiele CBN ought not to have shifted the dead line rather they should have improved on availability of new currency.
cenbank GodwinIEmefiele Abeg make you calm down sir, is it today we started hurting? How much is fuel, exchange rate,food commodities etc? This policy that is designed to block all leakages and reduce incentive to corruption is now hurting Nigeria. No wahala we will endure. Thanks for your concern.

cenbank GodwinIEmefiele Let's review the money in the hands of the political class then there will be money in the society
cenbank GodwinIEmefiele APC are so wicked and evil
cenbank GodwinIEmefiele Over 200 million Nigerians have been pushed to the wall in their desperate search for new Naira notes. Obviously, the CBN did not do its homework properly before fixing Jan. 31 as the deadline for depositing old Naira notes. Now, there is liquidity squeeze & stampede everywhere.
cenbank GodwinIEmefiele As if you truly care
cenbank GodwinIEmefiele Every policy hurts the ordinary Nigerian. What review? who is reviewing? was the policy not planned and strategy put in place for a seamless implementation? Disgusting!
cenbank GodwinIEmefiele Na only the one way affect una them de review
cenbank GodwinIEmefiele Speaking for his master!!!
cenbank GodwinIEmefiele we can manage instead of using the public as an excuse to release the money to your principal to manipulate himselves into our lives for another painful 4 or 8 years of hulabad
cenbank GodwinIEmefiele Wow I naira is now the scarce currency at least no pressure on dollars
cenbank GodwinIEmefiele Lol

cenbank GodwinIEmefiele Very soon, he will deny saying so and claim he was quoted out of context; just wait and see. They've all graduated from Lai Mohammed's school for lying and liars.
cenbank GodwinIEmefiele It's only when it hurts them too that they complain like the rest of Nigerians.
cenbank GodwinIEmefiele Uncle jimidisu
cenbank GodwinIEmefiele The CBN should allow banks to pay at least 50k to customers over the counter for the next six months to ease the crunch it's looking like this government never implemented anything successfully. NIN, Voter registration, PVC, New Naira, Fuel cues, etc all very stressful.
cenbank GodwinIEmefiele Drug lord boys are talking useless people. That policy must stay no more buying vote.
cenbank GodwinIEmefiele That's true very correct 💯
cenbank GodwinIEmefiele From Gov to works minister to Detective & now economist…. Park one side
