Kwara State Governor Calls For More Supply Of New Naira Notes

Date: 2023-02-05

The Kwara State Governor, AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq has called for more supply of the new naira notes across the country to ease transactions for the masses and stabilise the currency swap policy.

Speaking during a courtesy meeting with the CBN Consumer Protection Department in Ilorin, led by Mrs Rashidat Jumoke Monguno, the Governor called for calm while all stakeholders work to ease the situation.

“It's quite proactive for you to come down to various states to see that compliance is being followed through, down to the grassroots level. Our people really need this at this time,” the Governor said.

AbdulRazaq said he appreciates their visit and disclosed that government will continue to engage with the citizens, traditional institutions, students, all other segments of the society, farmers and NGOs to pass the message through to them to ensure the process is seamless.

He charged them to do everything possible to make the new notes available as the people of Kwara are suffering because of this difficulty.

Kwara CP orders aggressive patrol of banks.

Meanwhile, the police command in Kwara State has vowed to apprehend any person planning to raid banks in the state.

This is contained in a statement issued by the command's spokesperson, Okasanmi Ajayi in Ilorin.

According to the statement, intelligence available to the command indicates that hoodlums have perfected plans to replicate the lawlessness that was unleashed on some banks in some states of the country.

The statement added that the commands action followed the crisis emanating from the naira note swap that is ongoing in Nigeria at present, which the government is doing all within its power to normalise.

The command however assured the good people of the State of its capacity to deal ruthlessly with any lawbreaker.

Mr Ajayi warned criminals planning such actions to shelve their plans.

Consequently, the State Commissioner of Police, CP Paul Odama, has ordered aggressive patrols of banks and other financial facilities across the length and breadth of the state.

He warned criminal elements in the state to change their minds as “anyone arrested would be met with heavy consequences. A word, they say, is enough for the wise,” he said.
