Abuja – President Muhammadu Buhari on Friday appealed to Nigerians to give him seven days within which to resolve the current cash crunch problem across the country.

The cash crunch is a fall out of the policy of the Central Bank of Nigeria to change high value Naira notes with new ones.

Garba Sheu, the Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity said Buhari made the appeal while speaking to the Progressive Governors Forum who came to the Presidential Villa to seek solutions to the cash crunch.

The governors had in their meeting with the president told that the cash squeeze was threatening the good records of the administration in transforming the economy.

President Buhari said the currency re-design will give a boost to the economy and provide long-term benefits but expressed doubts about the commitment of banks in particular to the success of the policy.

“Some banks are inefficient and only concerned about themselves, even if a year is added, problems associated with selfishness and greed won’t go away,” Buhari said.

He said he had seen television reports about cash shortages and hardship to local businesses and ordinary people and gave assurances that the balance of seven of the 10-day extension will be used to crackdown on whatever stood in the way of successful implementation.

“I will revert to the CBN and the Minting Company. There will be a decision one way or the other in the remaining seven days of the 10-day extension,” the President assured.

Sheu in the statement said the governors told the President that, while they agreed that his decision on the renewal of currency was good and they are fully in support, its execution had been botched and their constituents were becoming increasingly upset.

“They told the President that, as leaders of the government and party in their different states, they were becoming anxious about a slump in the economy and the series of elections that are coming.

” They requested the President to use his powers to direct the concurrent flourish of the new and old notes till the end of the year.

“The President said when he considered giving the approval to the policy, he demanded an undertaking from the CBN that no new notes will be printed in a foreign country and they in turn gave him assurances that there was enough capacity, manpower and equipment to print the currency for local needs.

“He said he needed to go back to find out what was actually happening.

“President Buhari told the Governors that, being closer to the people, he had heard their cries and will act in a way that there will be a solution,” the statement quoted the president as saying.(vitalnewsngr.com)
