Asked if the policy would reduce kidnapping and insecurity generally, Sowore said: “Of course no, kidnappers would merely switch to demanding foreign currency as most of the high profile ones already do now.

“It is a senseless policy. The CBN Governor had no business redesigning the naira, he owes Nigerians a resignation from office.”

While some Nigerians have been calling for the removal of the inscription, others want it to remain in the redesigned naira notes.

Commenting on the issue, Sowore said: “It doesn’t matter to me what’s inscribed on the naira as long as it is strong in terms of purchasing power.JAMB Result
