Today I was in my room just reviewing this county’s problem and how come our economy has plunged abysmally. how all the revered institution of the world are rating us lowly. these days, there’s no rating or ranking that has been positive about Nigeria. from the HSBC to THE ECONOMIST. to the World Bank to TI (Transparency international). just name it. every rating and ranking have been very very damning and has prophesied doom in the coming years, if we should continue in this trajectory. and in my lay man knowledge, I said to myself. that, aside the very ill-informed policy of PMB that plunged us into recession and has destroyed our economy, the myopic hunger of building up a big foreign reserve is also killing the naira and by extension our economy. Mr President is so fixated on building a huge foreign reserve to the detriment of our exchange rate. what is the sense of having several billions of dollars, when your own local currency is suffering from inconsistent exchange rate. the naira must be stabilised before the craze about building a huge reserve. little did I know that, the CBN governor held exactly the same view. in fact in a speech delivered yesterday, he made exactly the same argument. that, we must stabilise our naira before trying to build a massive reserve. Mr President stop killing our economy. you are running people out of business.
