Buhari to take decision on currency redesign crisis within seven days

Amidst the current crisis trailing the naira redesign and distribution, President Muhammadu Buhari has said he would in one week take a major decision.

A statement by his media aide, Garba Shehu on Friday, said Buhari’s request is sequel to a meeting he held with members of the Progressive Governors Forum at the State House.

Buhari gave indications that he would within seven days resolve the cash crunch plaguing Nigerians as a result of the policy of the Central Bank of Nigeria to change high-value Naira notes with new ones.

All Progressives Congress (APC) had stormed Aso Rock Villa early on Friday in order to persuade President Muhammadu Buhari to soft pedal on the Naira redesign policy.

The governors had lamented that the policy was causing untold hardships among the citizenry.
