Ndume Kicks Against Relocation of CBN, FAAN From Abuja to Lagos

Published

on

Chief Whip of the Senate, Senator Ali Ndume, has  kicked against the proposed plan by President Ahmed Bola Tinubu  to relocate Central Bank of Nigeria, CBN, and the Federal Airports Authority, FAAN, from Abuja to Lagos.

Ndume insisted that relocating some departments of CBN and the FAAN is not the right decision arguing that Lagos is too congested.

 “I stand by what I’ve said about the relocation of FAAN and some departments of the CBN to Lagos State. If it is about decongestion, Lagos is not the right place,” the Borno Senator said in a statement he signed,

“There are CBN offices in all the states of the Federation. Why move the departments to Lagos that is already populated?

“Since my intervention, people have been using a particular newspaper to attack me and saying that I hate the Yorubas. They’re ignorant and they don’t know what they’re saying”
