The Benue State Governor, Samuel Ortom, on Wednesday, joined other Nigerians calling for the extension of the deadline to drop the old naira notes.
He said, “The visible sign is that there are a lot of people, particularly in the rural areas to transfer the old notes. As governor, am yet to see the new naira notes.
“This is the reason I will join other Nigerians to look at this critically so that we don’t worsen the condition of our people. “It is an understatement to say that our people are suffering in Nigeria. People are going through pain in this country things are not okay at all. Am calling on the president to look into it and extend the deadline.”All rights reserved.
