Naira redesign: Why FG should have involved Governors – El Rufai via politicsngr
on Wednesday, in a programme monitored by POLITICS NIGERIA, El Rufai said there are many unbanked Nigerians at the rural level who the CBN is not being fair to.“For example, in my state, there are two local governments without banks. In Borno State, out of 27 local governments, only two have banks. In Yobe state, out of 17 local governments, only two have banks.
“There are farmers who have their hard-earned money, not politicians, and they want to change these . When they travel a hundred kilometers to other towns to change the money, there is a chance bandits will seize their money. How can that be done in a few months?” El Rufai asked rhetorically.
