Emefiele Confirmed Arabic Inscription Won’t Be Removed From Redesigned Naira Notes -Sanusi

Former Emir of Kano, Muhammadu Sanusi, has said that the Central Bank of Nigeria governor, Godwin Emefiele, has confirmed to him that the Arabic inscription aka ‘Ajami’ would not be removed from the redesigned Naira notes.

He said this following speculations that ‘Ajami’ would be removed from the new Naira notes, which Emefiele said would go into circulation from 15th December, 2022.

Speaking with Daily Nigerian, Sanusi, who was a former Central Bank governor said, “There has been speculation going round about the change of some Naira notes. I heard various scholars commenting, with some implying that the Ajami on the Naira notes would be removed.

“I want to use this medium to authoritatively confirm to the Muslim ummah that there are no such plans. Since the issue came up, we have spoken to some people in the Central Bank, and they confirmed to me that such a plan is non-existent.

“When the misconception becomes widespread, I spoke to the CBN governor himself, and he also confirmed to me that there is no plan whatsoever to remove the Ajami. So, I want to appeal to Islamic scholars to please stop acting on unsubstantiated reports. I know some of the scholars making these comments are doing so without investigating the information brought to them.”

Most Nigerians, over the years, have failed to call a spade, a spade. We fear to speak the truth the way it is. This National behaviour could be attributed to many things like, the fear of death, fear of losing favour, fear of being seen as a true Christian or Muslim or traditional worshipper, fear of losing friends, self-centredness etc. This culture has denied Nigeria the much needed peace, growth and development, unity, progress, respect from the International Community. We keep quiet even when things are being destroyed in our noses.

Today, our fear of saying it as it is (even when all religions say so) has brought us to the catastrophic situation we are in ..... terrorism, banditry, corruption, killings, kidnapping, bad governance, electoral malpractice, dictatorship, extremism, bigotry, nepotism, impunity etc

My intent for creating this page is to provide a platform for Nigerians to speak up and speak the truth irrespective of religion or selfish idiosyncrasies. I shall be putting up critical issues concerning our dear country for people to speak to with truth and civility.

You are all well come!
