Adeyemi said the government must find ways to improve the supply of the new currency nationwide as the February 10 deadline draws closer.Meanwhile, Oyeyemi Oyediran, the Ondo commissioner of police, had on Monday met with stakeholders in the state on the need to avoid any protest. He said the command was aware of plans to embark on protests, urging them to shelve the idea because hoodlums may sabotage the demonstration.
There is heavy protest and shutdown of economic/social life in the SW. It was ibadan, now it's ondo. I'm sure the rest are warming up. The hardship they have had to put up with for 8yrs, is unprecedented. obiiscoming
