The Minister of Labour and Employment, Chris Ngige, on Wednesday hailed the naira redesign policy of the Central Bank of Nigeria for achieving some “sound benefits”
Ngige said, “The policy is not smooth in its implementation. I admitted that. But whether it is a good policy? Yes, it is a good policy.
“It wasn’t smooth; it came with some pain but overall, did we get some sound benefits from it? Yes, we did: people didn’t buy votes on the line during the elections. “I used to go for elections and I know what I see. There was no cash exchange for votes. It wasn’t easy anymore. Kidnappers are on break, they are strike so to say or recess. Bandits, they have also gone on holidays.”All rights reserved.
