At a media parley in Maiduguri, Saturday evening, Ndume wrote off the ECOWAS-imposed sanctions on the neighbouring francophone country as miscalculated and ineffective.
The Chairman of the Senate Committee on the Nigerian Army, Senator Muhammadu Ndume, has said the naira redesign and cashless policy by the Central Bank of Nigeria, CBN, is affecting the strategic operations of troops at the front line of insecurity in the country. Ndume while speaking to newsmen on Saturday in Maiduguri, Borno State, said the troops now found it difficult to survive at the frontlines due to lack of cash to buy their basic needs at remote communities across terrain of insecurity.
