* Says it’s misplaced priority
General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Pastor Enoch Adeboye, has criticized the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) over its plan to redesign three series of Naira notes.
The clergyman, at the RCCG’s November Holy Ghost Service o Friday, faulted the Federal government for approving the project, arguing that there is no sense in beautifying the Naira notes when the citizens are hungry.
“You know what is going on in our country. It doesn’t even make sense anymore. Our Naira now is not even worth the paper it is printed on.
“While people are hungry, trying to find enough money to buy bread to eat, our bosses are thinking of making the naira more beautiful, even if it can’t buy bread, at least, it will look beautiful.
The CBN governor, Godwin Emefiele, on October 26, announced the redesigning of N100, N200, N500, and N1000 notes.
