The Nigerian Young Professionals Forum (NYPF), has thrown its weight behind Godwin Emefiele on the CBN cash swap deadline and currency redesign policy stating that it is timely and should be allowed to succeed in spite of a few setbacks.
The body of young professionals across Nigeria made up of frontline entrepreneurs and business leaders in different sectors of the economy, also called for an end to what it described as unnecessary harassment and attempts to force the CBN governor to extend the currency swap deadline or reverse the currency redesign
Describing the barrage of attacks by various politically-motivated interest groups, political parties, politicians and others as undue distraction that will serve only personal interest as envisaged by the CBN under Emefiele, the youth group warned that any attempt to further harass, or cause further obstruction to the CBN policy will be greeted with serious repercussions from the citizens who are tired of the manipulation of the currency by the elite for their selfish gains.
