Minister of Finance, Budget and National Planning, Zaniab Ahmed has said President, Muhammadu Buhari and the Federal Government share in the pain
Nigerians are going through in accessing the redesigned naira notes but noted that it was a temporary stress which will fizzle out in no time.
She said the government is, however, pleased that sizeable old funds have been mopped back into the banking system, which will in turn give the regulatory agencies control over the nation’s currencies. Some videos of frustrated customers having difficulties accessing their money have been trending on social media since Tuesday.
“Let me give you an analogy, this situation can be compared to a patient having a sore and while treating the sore, you must apply some iodine or spirit which is usually very painful.
