The Governor of Kano State, Abdullahi Ganduje says the effect of the currency redesign policy of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) and the attendant cash crunch problem on the people of Kano is like that of a virus similar to Covid.
The Governor said the currency redesign policy has affected all commercial banks, POS, and ATM machines in Kano and all other things.
Ganguje said this on Monday during the distribution of palliative at the government house to douse the effects of the naira note scarcity.
He said Kano state is the most affected by the policy.
“We didn’t invite this situation, neither did we pray for it. We don’t welcome it at all. We gave similar palliatives during the COVID-19 days,” Ganduje said.
“Today our citizens are being faced with COVID-23 caused by the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN).
“We earlier thought it was a simple disease, but unfortunately it turned out to be a very serious virus.
“This virus which came from the CBN has affected all our commercial banks, our POS, our ATM machines, and all other things associated with this.
“We will not stop blaming the CBN for this economic blunder. We love our people. Therefore, anything that will disturb their well-being must be rejected.”
The governor said that Bola Tinubu, presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), has promised to stop the hardship if elected.
“Our candidate Sen. Bola Tinubu has promised Nigerians that when he is elected in the forthcoming election, he will make sure that he puts a stop to the current hardship,” Ganduje said.
