– Following serious criticisms against the policy of the Central Bank of Nigeria to make dollar available to Muslim pilgrims at N197, the presidency has reacted


– The CBN announced the policy in a circular dated August 4 to all authorised dealers in forex and the general public, but this gesture was heavily criticised

– The presidency has said the same gesture to the Muslim pilgrims was extended to Christians on pilgrimage and that the CBN has offered explanations


The presidency has said that Christian pilgrims are also beneficiaries of the subsidy on foreign exchange offered to Muslim pilgrims recently.
