Viewers Corner News team applauds the Central Bank governor, Mr. Emefiele, for plans to launch new designs of naira notes. Although this is long overdue, but having it done during this period, in our opinion, is the best. So many Nigerians and their dubious agents may not like the currency redesign because they are planning to use the money which they have stockpiled to buy the consciences of most uninformed Nigerians in the 2023 election. But now that this has happened, before they re-group to the extent of acquiring more naira to carry out their illicit deals, the elections may have been conducted and forgotten. So it is a welcome development. Again, it is known to the majority of Nigerians that some people in the country have huge sums of naira hidden in various places in the country, waiting for the right moment to use them. But this time, they are going to lose the money because if you take a large amount of cash to the bank, you will have to explain to the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission of Nigeria and other agencies how you made it. During the Buhari and Idiagbon military regime of the 80’s, this method was also carried out, which brought a significant change in Nigeria’s economy as at that time. Unfortunately, their time in the office was cut short. The Viewers Corner News team pleads with the Central Bank governor not to fall to the deceitful games of some members of the public. We urge him to be decisive, in accordance with the laws of Nigeria, when handling this issue of currency redesign because it is a sensitive one. Again, we believe that some politicians in Nigeria who have made life very hard for the people of the country may be looking for ways to have their hidden billions of naira changed. We urge Nigerians to expose them. Nigerians should build a new country that can work for all by being transparent in matters such as this. We do not see any reason why the gap between the rich and the poor in Nigeria should be so big. Nigerians are the ones to bridge this gap. No one is going to do it for you, so get started now to make Nigeria great.
