The Chief Whip of the Senate, Sen. Mohammed Ndume, has urged the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) to focus more on monetary stability, the exchange rate and to curb galloping inflation in the country.
Ndume said this in a statement in Abuja on Thursday.
He called on the CBN Governor to focus on his job rather than dwelling on trivialities.
“The governor of the CBN should focus on stabilising the economy rather than dwelling on relocation of departments to an already-populated Lagos,” he said.
Ndume said that his comments against the relocation of some departments of the CBN to Lagos, were based on reality and the irrelevance of the action by the leadership of the Apex Bank
The lawmaker said that since his intervention, some elements had been using a section of the media to attack his personality and question the credentials of his daughter who was a staff member of the CBN.
