"I Won't Revisit N5,000 Note"- Sanusi Lamido Sanusi. by Cornel88(m): 5:31am On Oct 13, 2013 |
On the failed attempt by the CBN to introduce the N5000 currency note into the Nigerian economy, the Mallam Sanusi said even though he was convinced that it made economic sense to print the higher denomination, he would not revisit the matter. Said he, “ On 5000 Naira note I have said I would not revisit. I made all the arguments at the time I made them. You have had inflation in double digits for a very long time, this has weakened the purchasing power of the national currency and therefore means you are carrying much more currency than you need to carry to carry out your transaction. “You go to an ATM, you want N100,000 you have to take 100 notes, those notes have a cost and printing those notes you are paying for the paper, paying for the security features, paying for transportation and paying for security while transporting them. And then the CBN is going to pay for destruction of those notes (when they become old and tattered”. “People got up and made statements, professional institutions, accountants, saying ‘this is inflationary.” I don’t know when accountants became economists, I don’t know when changing denomination became the same as increasing money supply, but in a country in which the decisions are not taken based on the soundness of an argument but on sentiments, I can’t help it. If Nigerians would rather carry Ghana- must- go bags on their backs, that is fine. If they would rather we continue pending money printing these notes, that is fine. www.vanguardngr.com/2013/10/sanusi-insists-naira-dollar-transfers-says-wont-re-visit-n-5000-note/ |

Then u need to resign and go ask how the US are still able to survive with $1 note without the yeye excuse of 'inflation caused by carrying too much notes' You moronic entity! Now my question to u is: If u print one N5,000 note, and u buy something of N500, won't u be needing more of the so called lower denominations as ur change? Why dnt u tell us it will be easier for u guys to transport and steal. And why are u even talking of carrying ghana-must-go when u are already talking cashless-policy! i put it to u Sir, that u are incompetent and a fool! U shld resign! |
