Nigerian activists on Wednesday described as illogical and nonsense the decision by President Muhammadu Buhari’s government to ‘subsidise’ the dollar for
Muslim brethren going for hajj in Saudi Arabia when the naira has crumbled and the economy is gasping for breath in a secular country.
The Federal Government through the central bank of Nigeria has allowed Muslims to get dollars at the exchange rate of 197 naira to a United States dollar
when most businessmen need about 400 naira to get one dollar and the activists said it lacked business sense.
The Centre for Cultural and Religious Rights, (CECURR) was adding its voice to the deluge of criticisms that have greeted the Federal government’s decision
to ‘subsidize’ the dollar for the annual Muslim Pilgrimage to Mecca in Saudi Arabia.
