Pan-Arewa socio-political Organisation, Arewa Youth Assembly has commended the governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Godwin Emefiele, over the clampdown on AbokiFX, an online platform that gathers and displays parallel market rates in the country.
Emefiele had accused the Director, Adedotun Oniwinde, who resides in the UK and allegedly publishes arbitrary rates without contacting BDCs.
“He is a Nigerian, living in England, we will track him, Mr Oniwinde, we will track you.
“We cannot allow you to continue to kill our economy.” Emefiele had said.
