Nigerians have called for an intervention from the Federal Government to ease the hardship and frustration being faced because of the new monetary policy introduced by Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN).
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN), who interviewed some people on Sunday in Abuja, reports that Nigerians are not finding the situation easy.
Mr Stanley Nwabuzor said that the Federal Government and other authorities should intervene on the situation, adding that the hardship is getting harder and unbearable.
Nwabuzor said that the Federal Government should urgently put an end to issues surrounding the scarcity of the new Naira notes.
He said that the situation had brought long-suffering and untold hardship to many Nigerians.
According to him, Nigerians are really facing hard times, some don’t even see complete three square meals to eat.
“I believed that the experience we had during COVID 19 pandemic is far better than this time.
“A situation whereby we use money to buy our own money is a terrible and serious issue,” he said.
Dr Godwin Elele, a resident of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) and a clergy, who expressed worry at the development, said Nigerians are no longer finding life easy and bearable.
Elele, however, advised Nigerians to bear with the government over the policy.
According to him, the essence of naira redesign was to stop vote buying and to reduce high rate of inflation in the country.
“I believe that at the end of the day, Nigerians will realise the importance of the policy and appreciate the effort of the government.
Elele also urged the government to release more new naira notes into the system to enable Nigerians have access to them.
Also, Mr Micheal Brutus, a retired Principal, who condemned the situation, said he felt for the poor masses, especially those parents that have little children.
“I feel for those families that have tender children, some of them watch their children crying for hunger and there is no money to buy food for them.
