The Kano State government has commenced the distribution of palliatives to indigent residents following the scarcity of Naira notes in the country.
Governor of the state, Abdullahi while speaking during the distribution of palliatives at the Government House, said:” We didn’t invite this situation, neither did we pray for it.
”We don’t welcome it at all. We gave similar palliatives during the COVID-19 days.
”Today our citizens are being faced with COVID-23 caused by the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN).
”We earlier thought it was a simple disease, but unfortunately it turned out to be a very serious virus.
”This virus which came from the CBN has affected all our commercial banks, our POS, our ATMs, and all other things associated with this,” he said.
” We will not stop blaming the CBN for this economic blunder. We love our people. Therefore anything that will disturb their well-being must be rejected.
”Our candidate Sen. Bola Tinubu has promised Nigerians that when he is elected in the forthcoming election, he will make sure that he puts a stop to the current hardship.
The governor said that Kano being the most populous state in the country is the most affected by the unfortunate development.
He said that beneficiaries of the palliatives are from all 44 local government areas of the state.
Ganduje faulted those supporting the hardship caused by ‘ill-timed Naira redesign in the country.
He described the development as unfortunate.
