While speaking to journalists after a meeting with President Muhammadu Buhari in his Daura hometown on Saturday, December 10, 2022, Masari argued that the new policy “will help the economy.”
Replying to questions on why state governors have maintained silence since the policy was announced, the Katsina governor said only those who stockpile millions in their house will be afraid of the new policy.
Masari’s words: “It will help the economy. Now, all the money has not been in the banking sector. The central bank governor said that they have mopped over one trillion naira into the banking sector which was stashed in soakaways and other places.
