Ned Nwoko took the stand to speak on the devalued naira and how it can be strengthened. According to the politician, the use of dual currencies in Nigeria is a big problem because no economy can survive that.
He also added that the naira had been relegated to the background, which should not be the case. Ned proposed that the use of dollars in the country should be stopped, and foreigners visiting the country would have to change their money to naira before coming. According to him, this will increase the naira's demand and strengthen its value.

He said in part:
“I lamented the fundamental problem we have in Nigeria and that is the use of dual currencies in Nigeria. There is no other economy that can survive with that. We must understand that we have relegated naira to the background, everybody is talking about dollars and it is what is causing the problems. It might be a difficult thing to contemplate Mr President but it has to be done, what has to be done is that we have to stop the use of dollars in Nigeria. Once you do that Mr President everything will begin to take shape and let me tell you what will happen. In Nigeria, we must make it compulsory for the use of naira by anybody in Nigeria. Even the sale of crude oil must be done in naira. Anybody who is coming to Nigeria as a tourist must come with naira. By the time you make this compulsory, the demand for naira will become equivalent in those countries so they will go to banks to buy naira to come here. In an economy of this nature, we must think of consumers, the interest rate in Nigeria currently is unacceptable, we must think of an interest rate that is no more than 5% so that people can begin to borrow. If people cannot borrow, they cannot survive.”
