But the former Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) Governor, Joseph Sanusi, replied that delaying the devaluation was akin to postponing the evil day. The positions were taken at a town hall meeting that the Vice President held with his co-tenants in the Victoria Garden City (VGC) on the Lekki-Epe axis of Lagos. At the widely attended and thought provoking event, Mr. Osinbajo insisted that devaluation was not on the table, adding “that is the position of government’’. According to him, the CBN will operate in line with the speech delivered by President Muhammadu Buhari, after he was elected to come up with flexible exchange rate to be supported by strong monetary policies.

Our leaders have left the stark records of not sparing a thought for the suffering poor citizens. Instead of staying at home to consider strategies for taking the blight of poverty ...
