The president, who listed the advantages of the ongoing financial reforms embarked upon by the apex bank, however, blamed unscrupulous bank officials for some of the hardship experienced by Nigerians.
According to him, he has since directed the CBN to deploy all legitimate resources and legal means to ensure that citizens are adequately educated on the new policy, and enjoy easy access to cash withdrawal through the availability of an appropriate amount of currency, and the ability to make deposits.
He also directed the CBN to intensify collaboration with anti-corruption agencies in checking the activities of those who were bent on sabotaging the smooth implementation of the new Naira redesign policy.
He reassured that government would continue to assess the implementation of the policy with a view to ensuring that Nigerians are not unnecessarily burdened while urging the CBN to ensure the availability of the new Naira notes across the country.
The president, who called for more understanding from the citizens, reiterated the commitment of his administration to hand over a financially stable economy to the incoming administration on May 29, 2023.
