President Muhammadu Buhari will convene an emergency Council of State meeting on Friday to discuss the crisis bedevilling the nation, including naira, petrol scarcity, and insecurity ahead of the February 25 presidential election.<\/p>\n

The Central Bank of Nigeria<\/a>, CBN, and Independence National Electoral Commission would be extending the meeting at 10 am on Friday.<\/p>\n
