Governors under the aegis of the Nigeria Governors Forum (NGF) have urged President Muhammadu Buhari and the Central Bank Of Nigeria (CBN) to listen to the voice of reason as regards the suffering of Nigerians due to the new Naira swap policy.<\/p>\n

Recall that Kogi, Kaduna, Zamfara, and Kano State governments had taken the federal government to court on the grounds that the new naira policy was causing untold hardship to their citizens.<\/p>\n

The Council of State also had advised the CBN to print more naira notes or recirculate the old naira banknotes back to the system to ease the sufferings of Nigerians.<\/p>\n

Rising from their meeting on Saturday, the governors said the federal government and CBN should reconsider their stand before the damage to the economy becomes too difficult to fix for the next administration.<\/p>\n

The governors expressed sympathies and support with Nigerians who are experiencing great difficulties under the current CBN Naira re-design and cash withdrawal restrictions policies.<\/p>\n

Chairman of the NGF and Sokoto State governor, Aminu Tambuwal, said they felt the pains of Nigerians and they were determined to employ all legitimate channels to ease the situation.<\/p>\n

According to him, it has become necessary to make a distinction between the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) Naira redesign policy backed by Section 20 (3) of the CBN Act, 2007 and the aspirational policy of going cashless, both of which are mutually exclusive at this time.<\/p>\n

He said it was the governors\u2019 considered view that what the CBN<\/a> is at present pursuing was a currency confiscation programme, not the currency exchange policy envisaged under S20(3) of the CBN Act, 2007.<\/p>\n

Tambuwal further stated that currency confiscation in the sense that the liquidity provided to the general public was grossly insufficient due to the restrictions placed on the amount that can be withdrawn regardless of the amount deposited.<\/p>\n

NGF said: \u201cthe current approach of the CBN raises concerns about the respect for the civil liberties<\/p>\n

and rights of Nigerians as it relates to their freedom to use legitimately earned income as<\/p>\n

they so wish.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Forum believes that to deploy a cashless policy and deepen digital transactions, the best practice around the world is to create a suite of incentives to attract customers; rather<\/p>\n

than a draconian approach as we have witnessed in the last three months.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe argument by the CBN for what it describes as the astronomical increase in the currency in circulation as the basis for this policy is not supported by its own data. According to the CBN, the currency in circulation increased from N1.4 trillion in 2015 to N3.23 trillion in October 2022.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Bank appears not to have taken into consideration the increase in the size of the country\u2019s nominal GDP over this period, the doubling of consumer prices, rising population, and the impact of the humongous Ways & Means advances to the federal<\/p>\n

government by the Central Bank of Nigeria over this period.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn the circumstances, it is safe to draw either of two conclusions \u2013 the CBN data may be incomplete or in fact, Nigerians may have done exceptionally well in the transition to a<\/p>\n

cashless economy.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn addition, considering the sizeable informal sector in the nation, the amount of banknotes created in exchange so far by the CBN implies it vastly underestimated the economy\u2019s<\/p>\n

actual cash needs.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe inability to use the new notes has had far-reaching economic effects, leading to the emergence of the Naira black market, severe food inflation, variable commodities prices based on the method of exchange,and long queues as well as crowds around Automated Teller Machines (ATMs) .<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd banking halls across the country with individuals hoping to get a fraction of their money in new notes to meet their daily livelihood. The country runs the risk of a CBN-induced recession.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhile we acknowledge the submission of the Attorney General of the Federation that the<\/p>\n

Federal Government will comply with the ruling of the Supreme Court which calls for the halting of CBN\u2019s plan to end the use of the old currency notes, we are yet to observe changes in the financial system.<\/p>\n

\u201cConsequently, we call on the Federal Government and the CBN to respect the Rule of Law and listen to the voice of reason expressed by Nigerians and several other stakeholders including the Council of State, before the damage to our economy becomes too great to fix by the next administration.<\/p>\n

\u201cMembers rose from the meeting agreeing to direct their Attorneys General to review the suit at the Supreme Court with a view to consolidating the legal reliefs pursued by States.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
