Nollywood actor Yul Edochie has asked President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to bring back the cashless policy in Nigeria. He shared this in a post on his Instagram page. Yul said the policy helped to stabilise the naira and reduce the cost of goods when it was first introduced. Speaking directly to the president, he wrote, “To my leader, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR @officialasiwajubat I humbly suggest you bring back the cashless policy. When it was introduced by the previous administration, it increased the value of the naira tremendously.”
According to Yul Edochie, the cashless system helped small naira notes like 5, 10, 20, and 50 naira to regain value. He also said it reduced crime, especially kidnapping, because such crimes often rely on large cash payments. In his words, “It helped to bring down prices of goods, and it made 5, 10, 20 and 50 naira notes regain value. The cashless policy also helped to reduce kidnapping massively. Consider it again, Sir. Thank you, Your Excellency.”
His comments come at a time when Nigerians are facing high inflation and rising food prices. Many people are also worried about the security situation in the country. For Yul, bringing back the cashless policy could help ease these problems and make life better for Nigerians.
This is not the first time Yul has shown support for President Tinubu. Last year, he praised him as a “silent achiever.” He listed what he saw as the president’s achievements, such as removing fuel subsidy and improving infrastructure and agriculture.
Yul’s recent post shows that he believes in speaking up about national issues. He wants to see policies that can strengthen Nigeria’s economy and keep people safe. As the country continues to look for ways to grow, his suggestion adds to the conversations about the nation’s future.
