Federal Government has finally opened up on the reasons behind suffering Nigerians go through in search of Naira Notes as well as fuel scarcity.
The Federal Government of Nigeria had few hours ago accused some opposition parties of legally restricting President Muhammadu Buhari from giving relief to Nigerians suffering agonies of cash crunch resulting from the naira redesign.
Lai Mohammed, the Minister of Information and Culture who disclosed this at the 23rd edition of President Muhammadu Buhari’s administration scorecard series (2015-2023) on Tuesday.
This paper gathered that the programme was put in place to showcase the achievements of the Buhari administration.
In his opening remarks, the Minister said the Federal Government was mindful of the inconveniences being endured by Nigerians because of the redesigning of the naira notes and fuel supply disruptions.
According to him, the government was working tirelessly to restore normalcy to the two key enablers of economic activities.
He however pointed out that it was surprising that some opposition political parties have gone to court to obtain an injunction restraining Buhari and the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) from extending the February 10 deadline for Nigerians to swap their old notes for new ones.
According to the minister, “the court action came after a number of opposition parties threatened to boycott the 2023 general elections if the deadline was extended.
“These curious actions by the parties concerned are clear evidence that the opposition has turned this whole issue into a political game, preferring to make Nigerians suffer more on the altar of an unconscionable political gamesmanship.”
