The Naira Redesign and Policy Has Brought Extreme Hardship On Nigerians – Ahmed Lawan

Published

Millions of Nigerians have experienced suffering as a result of the poorly executed old and new Naira swap, according to Senate President Ahmad Lawan.

Although the idea was admirable, Lawan claimed in a statement he personally signed that its virtues had been obscured by the way it had been carried out.

The declaration said;

“I sincerely empathise with fellow Nigerians the hardship being experienced across our land in the implementation of the currency redesign policy of the Central Bank of Nigeria.”

“Even though we all agree on the merits of the policy, its implementation gap, unfortunately, brought enormous hardship upon citizens across the country.”

“However, I wish to assure us that with appropriate intervention by the government and the collaboration of all stakeholders, this hardship will soon fade away and normalcy will be restored to our daily livelihoods.”
