Currency Crisis: Buhari insists policy aimed at boosting economy

President Muhammadu Buhari has sympathised with Nigerians over the difficulties being experienced as regards the implementation of the naira redesign policy.

He reiterated that the policy is aimed at boosting the economy and tightening the loopholes associated with money laundering, adding that ahead of the 25 February elections, “the new monetary policy has also contributed immensely to the minimisation of the influence of money in politics”.

Mr Buhari stated this Thursday during a national broadcast addressing the challenges of the currency swap and the state of the nation.
