NYLS expressed their opinion in a statement signed by the Ohanaeze Secretary-General and head of the Coalition’s secretariat, Nwada Ike Chiamaka.

It read:

“We, ethnic youth leaders across the country, are very elated over the decision of the CBN under the leadership of Dr Godwin Emefiele to reduce ATM withdrawal charges.
“We are indeed glad that under Emefiele, the CBN has been showing that it is not only people’s friendly but more importantly, youths friendly.
“We have no iota of doubt in us that Emefiele can aptly be described as people’s governor over this very laudable decision.
