Fayose To Buhari: Devalue Naira Now, Forex Policy Short-changing Nigerians by emamos: 4:55pm On Feb 21, 2016 |
Governor Ayodele Fayose of Ekiti State has called for the devaluation of the nation’s currency, the Naira, saying, “With the gap between the official rate of N199 and open market rate of over N400 to one dollar, Naira has already been devalued. Therefore, President Muhammadu Buhari must stop deceiving himself and short-changing Nigerians, especially States and Local Councils in the country with his Forex Policy.”http://www.vanguardngr.com/2016/02/fayose-to-buhari-devalue-naira-now-forex-policy-short-changing-nigerians/ 45 Likes 5 Shares

[quote ]Governor Fayose, who said there was no time in the history of Nigeria that the gap between dollar official rate and open market rate was more than N200, pointed out that it made no economic sense for the Federal Government to be calculating the country’s revenue on the basis of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) official rate of N199 to a dollar while States and Local Councils that are sharing the revenue with the Federal Government run their businesses at the open market rate of over N400 to one dollar, thereby causing business to be folding up by the day and prices of goods skyrocketing everyday. [/quote] Before you insult Fayose or defend Buhari, Kindly think about this statement within your innermost mind and tell me if its true or not. Thank you. 24 Likes 2 Shares |

Buhari need to devalue naira to N350=$1 to close up with black market rate of 400 or 500 in the future,this will help the prices of goods to stabilize as Nigeria is heavily dependent on imported goods,made in Nigeria goods is not enough to service already foreign dependent goods. 5 Likes 1 Share |

oduastates:I think his being ignored is actually the best. U don't glorify a stupid fellow with a response,less u are deemed mad. Instead of half baked govs like Fayose to see the golden opportunity that this offers for the ekiti state govt to fully invest in agriculture like that of Anambra and some states in the north are trying to do, earning foreign exchange directly in the process,he is moving from one ponmo shop to another iya sikira canteen waiting for handouts. He shud continue leading ekiti to ruin while other govs are using valuable time strategizing on a future without oil handouts. 61 Likes 4 Shares |

without sentiments, Fayose really made sense with his explanation about the devaluation. to be honest with ourselves, Buhari led CBN policies is doing us more harm than good. you earn at the rate of 199/$1 but buys at the rate of 391/$1. People who transact in dollars will understand better e.g young guys doing domain flipping business, a situation where bank charge them 391/$1 while buying the domain but paid at the rate of 198/$1 after selling the domain. the prices of almost everything is on the high side e.g rice, beans, transistor radio, battery, mobile phone, motorcycle, motor vehicle, locally made furniture, locally made foam, etc 41 Likes 4 Shares |

Benefits of Devaluation: (1) More revenue for all tiers of government. (2) Convergence of official and parallel market rates. (3) From 2 above, reduced roundtripping of dollars by rent-seeking economic agents. (4) Attraction of foreign portfolio investors. Disadvantages of Devaluation: (1) Increase in pump price of Petroleum products or increase in subsidy. (2) Rise in cost of importing critical raw materials and agricultural machinery/equipment (3) From 1 & 2 above, rise in headline inflation, leading to reduced purchasing power and increased poverty. (4) From 3 above, industrial action by organized labour demanding wage increase to counterbalance the effect of devaluation & inflation (5) From 1 & 2 above, Nigeria continues to depend on imports as high cost of doing business makes us less competitive with imports. Job losses! (6) The Market Cap & ASI of the Nigerian Stock Exchange gets devalued in dollar terms - scaring away foreign portfolio investors. (7) High interest payments on foreign loans. (8.) Devaluation or not, CBN is not likely to re-enlist the 41 delisted items. So how does devaluation benefit importers? (9) Devaluation will not increase the amount of dollars in circulation or in the Reserves, hence Naira is still likely to continue depreciating even after devaluation. --- Fayose is, obviously, speaking from a position of self interest, since devaluation will increase his allocation by over 50%. However, the FG and CBN have larger macroeconomic issues to worry about than just higher revenue to states. I have been a proponent of devaluation in the past, primarily because I thought the high exchange rate will rein in our demand for foreign goods and incentivize local manufacturing/production. However, events of the last few months where Nigerians continue to demand for dollars at over N350 has now convinced me to change my views on the subject. Now, #IStandWithBuhari on the issue. The disadvantages of devaluation far outweigh its benefits. We need to curb our appetite (demand) for foreign goods, that is the first patriotic duty of every Nigerian to save the Naira! 118 Likes 21 Shares |

Well.......not yet Devaluing the naira would 1.Lead to an increase in the cost of imported goods.....fueling inflation. 2.Lead to an increase in the cost of locally manufactured goods ......because most of them rely on imported raw materials.....fueling inflation. For now....we should concentrate on increasing spending on power and rail...things that would help us get away from reliance on oil. 2 Likes |
