President Muhamadu Buhari while speaking on February 3 about issues concerning the Naira scarcity and the hardship faced by Nigerians, said he had seen reports about cash shortages and the effect on local businesses and ordinary people.
He then asked Nigerians to give him seven days to resolve the crisis caused by the scarcity of the new naira notes.
“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,” the president said.
Seven days have since elapsed, but there is still no word from the president.
