Africa-Press<\/a> – Nigeria<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>An Economist, Tope Fasua said corruption, inefficiency and low productivity were among the factors causing the depreciation of the Naira.<\/p>\n

\u201cSins of corruption, inefficiency, low productivity. The fact is that Nigerians are not patriotic\u201d, Fasua noted.<\/p>\n

He cited the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) policy which stopped the sale of forex to about 10,000 odd Bureau De Change.<\/p>\n

Fasua lamented that too many people and firms have a BDC license, some owing multiple licenses.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat itself is a world record number when compared to places like United Kingdom where they have 145 BDCs; United Arab Emirates, 130; New York, 40.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe should support CBN to stop the idea of people carrying dollars around as if it is a mark of prosperity,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The expert stressed that the CBN had the right to regulate forex sale and called for adequate supply for official and legal transactions.<\/p>\n

Fasua also cautioned Nigerians against placing premium on what happens at the black market.<\/p>\n

The economist urged them to encourage the CBN to expand the transactions it can grant eligibility.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe more of the import transactions and the visible trade transactions the CBN can meet, the better for the Naira,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
