In September @officialNESG and @cenbank had a public spat over #BOFIA, yet, the law was still signed telling me that feedback mechanisms have been starved to death by this govt.
Y'all should read @GuardianNigeria's story about the reaction to the Act: t.ly/4g74

With all your financial muscle, you are voluntarily surrendering your "rights" and replacing them with what is at best, very limited bargaining power.
