There have been private meetings between President Muhammadu Buhari, the Chairman of the Nigeria Governors' Forum, Aminu Tambuwal, and the Chairman of the Progressive Governors' Forum, Atiku Bagudu, over the scarcity of the new naira notes.
Also in attendance at the meeting was the Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Godwin Emefiele; the Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Abdulrasheed Bawa; as well as the Chief of Defence Staff, Gen Lucky Irabor.
Recall that President Buhari had on February 3 met with the Governors of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and some of the governors had asked that the President intervene to allow both the old and new notes co-circulate to ease cash crunch recorded across the country.
