We Have Plans to De-dollarise the Nigerian Economy to Strengthen the Naira — Olawale Edun
Nigeria’s Minister of Finance, Olawale Edun, has announced the government’s plans to de-dollarise the Nigerian economy in a bid to strengthen the Naira.Edun emphasized that reducing the nation’s dependency on the U.S. dollar for international transactions is critical to stabilizing the Naira and boosting the country’s economic resilience.
Edun highlighted that the dependence on the dollar for trade and financial dealings has negatively impacted the Naira, leading to depreciation and inflation.The government aims to diversify its foreign exchange reserves, promote the use of the Naira in international trade, and encourage foreign investment in local currency, thereby reducing demand for foreign currency.
In conclusion, the Finance Minister’s declaration signals a bold move toward restoring the Naira’s value by reducing the economy’s dependence on the dollar. This policy, if well carried out, could play a significant role in boosting Nigeria’s economic growth.
It was reported that bandits were seen in Kwara State and abducted six residents from Rukpete Village.
The incident was reported to have occurred on June 8 at about 11 p.m.
Sources revealed that seven people were initially taken, but an elderly man was later released, leaving six victims in captivity.
The rising cases of insecurity in the country remain quite alarming.
The state of the country is affecting many people, as they believe nowhere is safe, including schools where they keep their children.
It has been reported that some parents have started withdrawing their children from schools in Abuja.
It can be noted that rumours of bandits being sighted near a school triggered panic, causing parents to hurriedly remove their children for safety.
While the reports of bandits have not been confirmed, the school has also issued safety measures to ensure the protection of students within the premises.
It has been rumored that bandits have made their way to Lagos, and allegedly they were spotted in Ibeju-Lekki, where some residents became suspicious of them and reported the matter.
A clip of the group of men went viral online, and many people became concerned. Whether true or not, fear has been sparked among Lagosians as they worry that bandits may already be in the state. Even if the reports remain unconfirmed, many believe it is still a possibility worth paying attention to.
