We are setting up a Special Task Force in the state to clamp down on the excesses of Point of Sale (POS) agents, who charge arbitrary fees in the wake of the cash crunch caused by the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN)’s currency swap policy.

I disclosed this during an enlarged meeting with market women drawn from the state’s three senatorial districts, held at the Government House.

The Special Taskforce will include Central Bank of Nigeria, Department of State Services (DSS), other security agencies, government officials, members of Civil Society Organisations (CSO) and market women.
