Though Nigerians are suffering, currency redesign achieving its aim – Buhari

Although the currency redesign policy of the Nigerian government is causing ‘difficulties’ for Nigerians, it is achieving its aim, President Muhammadu Buhari said Thursday.

The Nigerian leader, in a national broadcast, said he was aware of the setbacks of the policy, including the scarcity of the new naira notes, but it was achieving its set goals.

“Notwithstanding the initial setbacks experienced, the evaluation and feedback mechanism set up has revealed that gains have emerged from the policy initiative,” he said.
