PRESIDENT Muhammadu Buhari has asked Nigerians to give him seven days to resolve the cash crunch following the redesigning of the naira notes by the Central Bank of Nigeria – CBN.
He said this while speaking to the Progressive Governors’ Forum – PGF, who visited him at the Presidential Villa in Abuja to seek solutions to the cash crunch which they said was threatening the good records of the administration in transforming the economy.
Buhari told the All Progressives Congress – APC, governors that the currency re-design will give a boost to the economy and provide long-term benefits.
He also expressed doubts about the commitment of banks in particular to the success of the policy.
