Cash scarcity: Hope as Buhari moves to convene important meeting over the rising national crisis
President Muhammadu Buhari is set to ensure that the crisis going on in the country due to scarcity of naira notes and fuel is addressed.
The president will be meeting with leaders in key sectors of the economy, including the governor of the CBN, Godwin Emefiele.
In addition, the president will meet with the chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission and the Inspector General of Police to discuss plans for the 2023 polls.
Naira scarcity: "CBN, Emefiele gave false information to president," Buhari's aide alleges
As Nigerians continue to suffer the challenges of the poor implementation of the naira redesign policy, an aide to the president appears unhappy.
Ajuri Ngelale, a senior special assistant to President Buhari on public affairs, said the policy's implementation is faulty.
Ngelale also noted that the Central Bank of Nigeria has failed to feed the president with the right and effective intelligence on the challenges Nigerians face, hoping to access the new notes.
