Former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar, has faulted the decision of the Central Bank of Nigeria to shutdown cryptocurrency operations.

Mr Atiku noted that with Nigeria’s economic crisis, the country needs all the help it can get to get out of its present economic quagmire.

The former presidential candidate said this in a statement titled, ‘We Need To Open Up Our Economy, Not Close It’, which he signed and made available to newsmen in Abuja, on Saturday.

His statement reads in part: “The number one challenge facing Nigeria is youth unemployment. In fact, it is not a challenge, it is an emergency. It affects our economy and is exacerbating insecurity in the nation.
“There is already immense economic pressure on our youths. It must be the job of the government, therefore, to reduce that pressure, rather than adding to it.
“We must create jobs in Nigeria. We must expand the economy. We must remove every impediment towards investments. We owe the Nigerian people that much,” Atiku said.

Dollar to Naira exchange rate between 1972 to 1983 From below you can see that one US dollar was N0.658 in Nigeria in 1972, that’s two years after the end of the Civil War. 1972: $1 = N0.658 1973: $1 = N0.658 1974: $1 = N0.63 1975: $1 = N0.616 1976: $1 = N0.62 1977: $1 = N0.647 1978: $1 = N0.606 ...
