We feel your pain and we are determined to employ all legitimate channels to ease the situation.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">&#8220;It has become necessary to make a distinction between the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) Naira redesign policy backed by Section 20 (3) of the CBN Act, 2007 and the aspirational policy of going cashless, both of which are mutually exclusive at this time.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">&#8220;It is our considered view that what the CBN is at present pursuing is a currency confiscation programme, not the currency exchange policy envisaged under S20(3) of the CBN Act, 2007. Currency confiscation in the sense that the liquidity provided to the general public is grossly insufficient due to the restrictions placed on the amount that can be withdrawn regardless of the amount deposited.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">&#8220;The current approach of the CBN raises concerns about the respect for the civil liberties and rights of Nigerians as it relates to their freedom to use legitimately earned income as they so wish.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">&#8220;The Forum believes that to deploy a cashless policy and deepen digital transactions, the best practice around the world is to create a suite of incentives to attract customers; rather<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">than a draconian approach as we have witnessed in the last three months.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">&#8220;The argument by the CBN for what it describes as the astronomical increase in the currency in circulation as the basis for this policy is not supported by its own data. According to the CBN, the currency in circulation increased from N1.4 trillion in 2015 to N3.23 trillion in<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">October 2022. The Bank appears not to have taken into consideration the increase in the size of the country\u2019s nominal GDP over this period, the doubling of consumer prices, rising<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">population, and the impact of the humongous Ways &amp; Means advances to the federal government by the Central Bank of Nigeria over this period.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">&#8220;In the circumstances, it is safe to draw either of two conclusions &#8211; the CBN data may be incomplete or in fact, Nigerians may have done exceptionally well in the transition to a cashless economy.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">&#8220;In addition, considering the sizeable informal sector in the nation, the amount of banknotes created in exchange so far by the CBN implies it vastly underestimated the economy&#8217;s actual cash needs. The inability to use the new notes has had far-reaching economic effects, leading to the emergence of the Naira black market, severe food inflation, variable commodities prices based on the method of exchange,and long queues as well as crowds around Automated Teller Machines (ATMs) and banking halls across the country with<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">individuals hoping to get a fraction of their money in new notes to meet their daily livelihood. The country runs the risk of a CBN-induced recession.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">&#8220;While we acknowledge the submission of the Attorney General of the Federation that the Federal Government will comply with the ruling of the Supreme Court which calls for the halting of CBN\u2019s plan to end the use of the old currency notes, we are yet to observe changes in the financial system.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">&#8220;Consequently, we call on the Federal Government and the CBN to respect the Rule of Law and listen to the voice of reason expressed by Nigerians and several other stakeholders including the Council of State, before the damage to our economy becomes too great to fix<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">by the next administration.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">&#8220;Members rose from the meeting agreeing to direct their Attorneys General to review the suit at the Supreme Court with a view to consolidating the legal reliefs pursued by States.&#8221;<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">End.<\/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>The Nigeria Governors&#8217; Forum has accused the Central Bank of Nigeria, CBN of presently pursuing currency confiscation programme, as against currency exchange policy which it claimed.
