- The PRP demands that the CBN immediately retracts this misguided directive and seeks alternative, more inclusive solutions to safeguard the financial well-being of Nigerians.
- The PRP reiterates that it stand in solidarity with the citizens of this great nation and remain committed to fighting for a fairer and more prosperous future for all.
The Peoples Redemption Party (PRP) has condemned the cybersecurity levy imposed on electronic transfers by the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), describing it as ill-timed and insensitive, especially considering the current economic challenges faced by Nigerians due to the Federal Government’s unpopular policies.
The PRP, in a statement signed by its acting national publicity secretary, Comrade Muhammed Ishaq, and made available to WITHIN NIGERIA, called on the CBN to withdraw the policy and implement measures to alleviate the suffering of Nigerians.
The statement questions the timing of the levy and criticizes the government for collecting money from Nigerians to fund the Office of the National Security Adviser without ensuring transparency or accountability in the utilization of the funds.
The PRP condemns the CBN’s directive and warns that it will further worsen the financial difficulties faced by Nigerian citizens, particularly impacting vulnerable groups such as hardworking individuals, families, and small business owners.
The PRP calls on the CBN and the Nigerian Government to rescind the policy and focus on implementing measures that address the citizens’ concerns, including economic growth, job creation, and equitable distribution of resources. The party emphasizes its solidarity with the citizens and its commitment to fighting for a fairer and more prosperous future for all.
