Meanwhile President Muhammadu Buhari appealed for 7 days grace to resolve the naira scarcity issue.

Presidential aide, Garba Shehu, in a statement on Friday, said Buhari’s request is sequel to a meeting he held with members of the Progressive Governors Forum at the State House.

He gave indications that he would within seven days resolve the cash crunch plaguing Nigerians as a result of the policy of the Central Bank of Nigeria to change high-value Naira notes with new ones.

He indicted some bank management, saying, “Some banks are inefficient and only concerned about themselves, even if a year is added, problems associated with selfishness and greed won’t go away.”

Buhari added; “I will revert to the CBN and the Minting Company. There will be a decision one way or the other in the remaining seven days of the 10-day extension.”
