Magaji Dau Aliyu.<\/p>\n<p>Apart from the minority leader, Hon. Ndudi Elumelu who supported the CBN policy in that it will curb banditry and reduce the incidence of corruption, many other lawmakers who spoke, vehemently condemned the decision of the CBN.<\/p>\n<p>The opposition may eventually signpost a directive by the House by a way of resolution to drop the policy after the Wednesday meeting.<\/p>\n<p>Midway into the proceedings, Hon. Mark Gbillah raised a point of order, citing relevant sections of the CBN act and the 1999 constitution, reminding the House that the CBN governor ought to be giving periodic briefings on monetary policies of the apex bank to the national assembly.<\/p>\n<p>He noted that the CBN was yet to explain to Nigerians how the redesigning of the Naira was funded, stressing that there was no approval of such expenditures by the national assembly.<\/p>\n<p>To that end, the Speaker, Rep. Femi Gbajabiamila who felt convinced after confirming from some members of the relevant Committees of the House on the absence of Emefiele for the briefings relied on the sections of the laws so quoted to sustain the point of order.<\/p>\n<p>He eventually heeded to the prayer of the substantive motion and ruled that Emefiele be summoned to brief the House next week.<\/p>\n<div class=\"yj6qo\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"adL\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"adL\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"hi\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"ajx\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"gA gt acV\">\n<div class=\"gB xu\">\n<div class=\"ip iq\">\n<div id=\":vw\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Angry with the N100,000 weekly cash withdrawal limits recently set by the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) and its attendant economic and social challenges, the House of Representatives at Thursday&hellip;<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":90862,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-101854","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.8 -
