Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) Governor, Godwin Emefiele, has said that the apex will not allow itself to be used to frustrate the forthcoming general elections.
Emefiele, who spoke when the Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission, (INEC), Prof. Mahmood Yakubu, led eleven National Commissioners on a visit to the Bank, said the CBN will make available every cash needed to pay logistics for the success of the elections.
He was responding to a request from the INEC Chairman that the CBN should find a way of addressing the scarcity of the new currencies across the country 17 days before the Presidential and National Assembly elections since some service providers to the Commission were “unbanned”.
He said: “The CBN will not allow itself to be used as agents to frustrate the forthcoming election, which is a positive assignment”.
