The Kaduna State Government has appealed for caution and vigilance by all citizens, amid the prevailing situation arising from the currency swap policy challenges.
This is as the State governor, Nasir El-Rufai, assured that legal means were being vigorously explored alongside other State governments, towards relieving the present sufferings of the masses.
The State government said it was aware that certain individuals and groups have made plans to organise massive protests, capitalising on the acute shortage of cash and attendant hardships faced by citizens.
A statement signed by the Commissioner, of the Ministry of Internal Security and Home Affairs, Samuel Aruwan, on Tuesday, reminded citizens that care must be taken not to play into the plans of devious elements seeking to create crisis in this crucial period, adding that citizens were thus advised to ignore the calls for massive protests in the interest of public security.
“The Government expresses its sincerest empathy over the tight situation and urges for calm and restraint as efforts continue to be made towards easing the difficulties.
“Along these lines, Governor Nasir El-Rufai on Tuesday met with the leadership of the Kaduna State Markets Traders Association, to reiterate appeals for patience and calm.
