 Good evening, I am Yifan El-Mazem, this is the news now. Members of the Council of State have expressed support for the Naira redesign policy of the Central Bank of Nigeria's CBN. The Council, however, has gone to Amirfilid, the CBN governor, to make new Naira notes available or re-circulate old Naira notes to ease the suffering of Nigerians. Tharar State Governor Darius Shaku said the Council of State members made it clear that the policies are accepted and has come to stay, but that the resistance of the populace to its introduction was also not misplaced. Abu Bakr Malami, Attorney General of the Federation, the Minister of Justice was also at the meeting. Basically what took more time was that of the monetary issue, because of the hardship of money in circulation across the whole state. But generally the views across board is that principally the policy is accepted, just like any new policy or any new change. At the beginning people resisted, even though it's good, but generally it's accepted. But the major issue across board, from all the states and most of the speakers, is that of implementation. And so many views were preferred, particularly that the CBN governor should look into making sure that money is available, the new money is available in quantum. But there were suggestions too, that if the new money is not in circulation or printing them could be difficult, the old money that hasn't been changed could be re-circulated and pumped into circulation to ease the tension, particularly for the poor people in our society who just need a little sum of money to buy their food, buy their drugs for daily basis. Issues of interest, with particular regard to the election and Naira perhaps the design, the council of state meeting was summoned by the president and arising from it, elaborate deliberations and discussions were held among the members of the council of state.
