The governor of Delta State ,Senator Ifeanyi Okowa has made a passionate appeal to CBN and banks to make more Naira notes available to reduce the sufferings of the citizens.
Okowa equally appealed to citizens to remain calm, stressing that violence would not solve the problems of Naira notes scarcity.
The governor’s concern was conveyed by the state Information Commissioner, Mr Charles Aniagwu in a statement yesterday.
It would be recalled that some youths in
Orhuwhorun Community in Udu Local Government Area of the state destroyed a commercial bank ATM gallery.
The governor appealed to the people of the state to remain calm, adding that the CBN should do the needful in this trying period.
Part of the statement reads thus:
“We appeal to our brothers and sisters across the state to keep calm in spite of the current travails they are going through as a result of the scarcity of naira notes in the country.
“As a government we are not unaware of your sufferings but we appeal to you to be patient with the monetary authorities as they take steps to improve on the money supply in the country.
“We are very much aware of Your pains and converns, but burning down a bank that employs our people will not augur well for us as a nation even as it will not also solve the problem but will further compound the situation.
“Once again we appeal to you all to sheath your swords while we continue to engage the CBN to ensure more funds are released to the banks in the country,”
