Delta State Governor, Dr. Ifeanyi Okowa, has reacted to the burning of bank's ATM gallery earlier today, Wednesday February 15, during a protest in Orhuwhorun Community, Udu Local Government Area, saying the action will exacerbate the problem.
Fresh Angle International can report Dr. Okowa, who made the declaration in a statement on his twitter handle, acknowledged the difficulties many Deltans are going through as a result of unavailability of the new naira notes and the refusal of banks to accept the old N200, N500 and N1,000 notes.
The Governor stated: “We are fully aware of your concerns and the difficulties you face, but we strongly advise against resorting to violence, such as burning down banks that employ our people. Such actions will only exacerbate the problem and could have far-reaching consequences for our nation.
“We once again appeal to everyone to refrain from violent acts and allow us to engage with the Central Bank of Nigeria to ensure that more funds are made available to banks across the country”.
