According to DAILY POST, Ugorji said this at the opening of the 2023 First Plenary of CBCN which was held at the Catholic Secretariat in Abuja.

“Our collapsing national economy worsens the ugly situation. While the value of the Naira continues to decline, the cost of basic commodities, including food items, continues to soar, with serious effects on the lives and livelihoods of our people.NYSC portal

“The disastrous implementation of the Central Bank of Nigeria’s (CBN) cash swap policy, which resulted in a cash crunch, has added to the ordeal, anger, and frustration of the masses.”
