 I warm welcome to you again, I'm Laura Tachioga and this is the news now. The federal government says the scarcity of the redesigned Naira notes in the country is temporary since it is for the overall benefit of the economy. The Minister of Finance Zainab Hamid at the 65th State House briefings compared the current state of affairs in Nigeria to a patient who has a deep sore or wound and must endure excruciating pain while receiving treatment. However, she claimed that the government was satisfied that a sizable amount of old monies have been re-injected into the banking system allowing the regulatory bodies to regain control of the country's currency. Is government not worried about the redesign of the hardship that the redesign is causing to the citizens? Of course we are worried. We're not happy that citizens have to queue and struggle at bank ATMs to be able to get their cash, but this is a temporary solution. Let me just give you an analogy. If you have a wound for you to be able to heal that one, it needs to be dressed and sometimes when you go to the hospital they will put iodine on the wound and it is very painful. But it's necessary to do that to be able to get the wound to heal. So it's not easy and Mr. President is not happy that citizens are really suffering but we're convinced that it is something that needs to be done at this time and also the central bank has been responsive in terms of providing some extension and also further explanation that come the closing date that it's not all over that there is still opportunity for citizens as provided for in the CBN Act section 20 subsection 3 to actually take their old currency to the central bank for redemption. So it's not all over. But the positive side of it is that there's a lot of currency that has been mocked up by this operation and it means it has achieved a good level of success. The only so point is the pain it has caused to citizens which is regrettable but which is also very transient and temporary and the bank is continuing to address it.
