Shehu Sani Accuses World Bank of Prolonging Nigeria’s Hardship
Former Kaduna Central Senator Shehu Sani accused the World Bank on Wednesday of worsening the hardships faced by Nigerians. He claimed the organization plans for Nigeria’s struggles to continue for another 15 years before any relief is seen.
In a post on X, Sani wrote, “The World Bank wants hardship to last for 15 more years before we reach the promised land. But how many people will still be around to benefit? And how many African countries has the World Bank actually helped reach the promised land?” His remarks came after the World Bank reported that the Nigerian Naira was among the weakest currencies in sub-Saharan Africa by August 2024. The Naira, which declined by 43%, dropped alongside the Ethiopian Birr and South Sudanese Pound due to high dollar demand and low dollar inflow.
