boss to brief it especially on the implications of
the free fall of the naira.
The Senators noted that the CBN governor
should be invited to “brief the Senate on what
the situation really is.”

economy that depends on taxation, agriculture,
manufacturing, international tourism and solid
minerals prospecting.
