What are you saying? There is a reason why the Central Bank should be an independent body to prevent Political Interference. Kingsley Moghalu has explained clearly that political interference is wrong and the Banking institution should know its stance for the better of the economy.

After such explanation you write this. Shows you did not spend time to read the article to get the Former Presidential Candidates point.
At the end of the day, there isn't anywhere in the world where "the bulk does not stop at the president's table" even in matters of central bank and its activities. You know why? Because when everything goes south, it's the president that still gets the blame.

Was this not same man Emefiele who released billions to GEJ for looting without any appropriation?

Foolish youths aplenty in Nigeria. The president that's working to improve the Nigerian economy by discouraging importation of foods that can be locally produced is who they're cursing.

Look at this wannabe presidential candidate who doesn't know a thing about governance speaking rubbish. I get it that, to be in the news you just have to oppose Buhari especially when you have lazy youths to applaud you.

Nonsense!

My friend you need to understand and read in between the lines before raining insults, as an economist I can tell you that there is no where in the world that the government has absolute control over her Central Bank, its an independent body and as such charged with the responsibility of advising the government and not the other way around, its only in Nigeria that you guys use sentiment to tackle every issue, ignorance has eating black race so deep that they hardly see anything good apart from their silly believe, sentimental and a sycophantic attitude
It's a pity sad

You clearly have no formal education! If you had the slightest idea of basic economics, you would understand that a CBN restriction on forex for food importers will lead these importers to the black market where they would buy the dollar at higher rates. That cost will be shifted to we the consumers and eventually you'll have a "commodity price inflation".

Many of you Buharists are fantastically dull!


Honestly, you guys are just giving this people attention. Let's stop quoting or familiarizing with them. Moist of them are vagabonds. Nothing works for them. Stop quoting them. Only a fool will support Buhari that is strangulating the economy.

Please let's stop all relationship with this people. Let them keep wallowing in their foolishness. Once nobody cares nor help them, they will come to their senses.

Priscy01:
Kingsley Moughalu, a former deputy governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) has faulted President Buhari's directive on non-provision of foreign exchange for food importation.

Recall that President Buhari while hosting APC Governors at his hometown in Daura, said his directive to the CBN to starve food importation of foreign exchange stemmed from the steady improvement in agricultural production and attainment of full food security.

However the former Presidential candidate of the Young Progressives Party (YPP) rubbished President Buhari's order and further pointed out that the CBN is an independent body which should be left alone to discharge its functions, Igbere TV reports.

Moughlau stated that the political interference in CBN's economic policies leads to poverty and also weakens institutions.

He tweeted;
“Is @cenbank now a ministry to be “directed” by President @MBuhari ? Article 1(3) of the CBN Act 2007 states ‘In order to facilitate the achievement of its mandate under this Act…the Bank shall be an independent body in the discharge of its functions.

“The issue here isn’t whether or not CBN should allow access to forex for food imports. It is about whether such an economic policy of a central bank should be imposed by a political authority. A major reason for our poverty, instability and weak economy is weak institutions.

“Our marketplace should be regulated and guided in a rational manner that creates a level playing field. Our economy will not be saved by Ad Hoc political decisions like this, handed down by the very institutions that should be shielded from the whim and caprice of politicians.

“Nigeria’s entire economy appears to have been sub-contracted to our central bank, including industrial and trade policy. In the process the economy has fared poorly and the Bank has lost its independence. This is sad!

“@NGRPresident should leave @cenbank alone to discharge its mandate independently within the ambit of the CBN Act, and stop “directing” it. @cenbank should on its part assertive its independence (assuming it actually believes it should be independent, but the Act says so, clearly!”

Source; http://igberetvnews.com/896762/non-provision-of-foreign-exchange-for-food-importation-leave-cbn-alone-moghalu-tells-buhari/

Buhari is just a delusional dullard that falsely thinks he knows it all n thus keep wallowing in his folly of self righteousness, unfortunately his band of zombie supporters keep cheering him on causing him to stagger from one goof to the other,to buhari anything he doesn't understand is indescipline n corruption that can only be corrected by order n command, it's really a pity that Nigeria has to end up with a character like buhari in leadership due sentiments.

Simple, the central bank is independent and the President should maintain his lane.

That is the idea behind the directive given to CBN. To inflate the price of imported foods so that consumers will not patronize them and that will give our locally produce foods the chance to compete. I see no harm in these, it’s a win win.

Which in turn will cause the inflation of local goods due to the high demand. Thus, causing inflation.

Buhari should do his Job and let the Central Bank do theirs.

That's the idea, so that Nigerians can patronise locally made goods which wil lead to more jobs since demands for such goods will grow. Right now for some goods it's cheaper to import than produce , the govt wants to change.

The idea is job creation which will reduce unemployment we all complian about.

And who has banned imports?

They've simply said stop funding import of goods we can produce locally.

If only these articles are explicit enough.
I see nothing wrong with PMB directives

The point is he has no power to direct CBN. When politicians direct their central banks, investors get scared and also, what does he know about monetary policies? That job should be for an economist who understands economic tradeoffs. We are wher we are because of this. He takes one seemingly good decision which creates a bigger problem.

Someone is telling me about allowing CBN to be independent and I ask: who gets the blame if everything goes bad? Wasn't it the same Emefiele that released unappropriated billions to Dasuki and GEJ to loot in the name of fighting insurgency? Who bore the brunt? Not Nigerians?

Moghalu just wants to be heard. He is empty!


You are talking rubbish. How best do you encourage local production/producers other than making imported foods more expensive by restricting access to govt dollars? Wannabe Economist!

The agricultural minsitry should take better measures to help farmers. It's a gradual process of tightening imports while at the same time helping boost local production. You don't just close the door to imports and them hope dat local production improves.

Human rights lawyer, Femi Falana also had much to say on the issue…”If revolution has become a criminal offence in Nigeria why were the leaders of the APC not charged for claiming to have carried out Nigeria’s democratic revolution which terminated the 16-year rule of the PDP in 2015?” He remarked that the Force had capitalized on the use of the word “revolution” to criminalize the protests.

I guess we know who the real criminal is flaunting court orders and giving directives against the constitution.

Finito.
