The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) departments that are being considered for relocation to Lagos are being asked to be reevaluated by President Bola Tinubu by the Elders Forum of Katsina State. The organization is also pleading with Tinubu to halt the ongoing Umaru Musa Yar’adua International Airport expansion project. According to Aliyu Mohammed, the secretary of the forum, these choices are deemed imprudent, unnecessary, and unconstitutional. CONTINUE FULL READING>>>>>
Mohammed has revealed that there is a plan by the Federal Government to move some crucial projects from Katsina Airport to Lagos. This decision was based on a letter submitted by a contractor to the Minister of Aviation, which cited reasons such as unskilled labour, distance and lack of water. However, the Katsina Elders Forum has strongly opposed this move and has warned the Federal Government not to interfere with the project.
The group is worried about the proposed relocation of around 11 essential departments of the Central Bank of Nigeria from Abuja. They think that this relocation is a deliberate attempt to impede the economic growth of the North and restrict access to the bank’s services. The forum requests President Tinubu to retract these decisions as they are considered unconstitutional and harmful to the country’s progress.
The Elders Forum has expressed its disappointment with Tinubu for not making enough efforts to address the security challenges in the North. They have urged him to reconsider his decisions and appoint patriotic Nigerians who will work in the best interest of the country. Failure to do so may result in him not being re-elected in 2027. The group strongly believes that the decision to relocate departments and projects is detrimental to the North and the overall development of Nigeria. CONTINUE FULL READING>>>>>
