According to the Senator representing, Kaduna Central Senatorial District, the timeline is not the problem ,but the potential danger of criminals printing the new naira notes before it get into wide circulation.
Senator Uba Sani ,who spoke on TVC programme recently disclosed," Lots of people complaining about timeline are politicians, whose considerations are the period of elections .
Uba Sani further said the politicians seeking for extension of the CBN deadline till after the general elections are only being selfish about it.
