The Speaker of the House of Representatives, Femi Gbajabiamila, has threatened to issue a warrant of arrest on the Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, Godwin Emefiele if he fails to appear before its committee investigating the scarcity of the new naira at the Commercial banks.
Some Nigerians have been apprehensive over the January 31 deadline for the exchange of old Naira notes with the newly redesigned ones. Many Nigerians claim they visit banks to deposit the old notes but have been unable to access the new notes.
In a bid to resolve the seeming crisis, the lawmakers had set up a committee to investigate these claims and seek ways to resolve them.
