The National Security Adviser, Babagana Monguno, on Thursday has kicked against the scarcity of cash in the country, arguing that it will affect the military personnel deployed to remote places.

Represented by a director in the Office of National Security Adviser, A.A. Mustapha, Monguno, at the hearing organised by an adhoc committee of the House of Representatives looking into currency redesign and naira swap policy, said there is a need to readjust the policy.

The NSA said, “Globally, military operations, even in First World countries, such policies, if not properly well thought out will affect some of our soldiers in places where they cannot actually access digital means of paying for their daily subsistence,” he said.

Earlier in his speech, the chairman of the committee, Ado Doguwa, said, “It is the belief of this committee that the policy would have, in one way or the other, certain implications [for] the security apparatus or security architecture of the country, especially when we are facing elections.”
