This is a nice policy, especially having an inflation targeting, Ghana did same and it worked for them. Nigeria only had a monetary policy targeting.
But the most important thing is to have an import substitution strategy that will see us stop importing much (especially petrol), so as the naira will stop chasing the dollar.

Why do I think that this is a propaganda hit piece ,by Western powers .

A source told , again a source told .

We have heard during invasion of Iraq and during Russia and Ukraine war that source will always tell.

But unfortunately we don't know the identity of the source

If ECOWAS enters Niger,the coup plotters would run out of Niger that very day,they know that they stand no chance at all because they know that some other military officers not in support of the coup might arrest them and hand them over to ECOWAS ,a thief is never comfortable with a stolen good and no matter the bravado being exhibited by the coup plotters,they know that they are thieves.
And mind you all,Mali and Burkina Faso dare not try Nigeria or ECOWAS at all, because an attempt at trying Nigeria or ECOWAS,the gaze might now really shift towards them and they really wouldn't want that at all.

Nigerian senate does not dictate for ecowas and as long as you are a member, you have to participate

Troops of the Economic Community of West African States have said they are ready to participate in a standby force that could intervene in Niger.

After presidential guards seized power from President Mohamed Bazoum, ECOWAS issued a 7-day ultimatum to the military to restore the president or risk sanctions, including possible military action.

But the junta called off ECOWAS’ bluff and vowed to resist foreign intervention.

Subsequently, the regional bloc asked Defence Chiefs from the 15-member regional bloc to activate its standby force.

At a meeting in Accra, Ghana capital, on Thursday, the Defence Chiefs said they were prepared to restore civil rule in Niger.

According to Al Jazeera, all member states except those under military rule and Cape Verde pledged readiness to participate in the standby force.

ECOWAS commissioner, Abdel-Fatau Musah, was quoted to have said this.

The medium further quoted Nigeria’s Chief of Defence Staff, General Christopher Gwabin Musa, to have said, “Democracy is what we stand for and it’s what we encourage,”

“The focus of our gathering is not simply to react to events, but to proactively chart a course that results in peace and promote stability.”

Burkina Faso and Mali, which have experienced multiple coups since 2020, warned that any military intervention in Niger would be declared as an act of war, revealing a fracture in the region between its coastal countries and those in the volatile Sahel.
