Nigerians react
Several Nigerians have reacted differently but united in questioning the essence of the agencies. They decried that the agencies have failed and are clearly not working in line with their formation.

Failure of All these institutions not work as a collaborative unit with strong political will is the cause of DOLLAR problem in Nigeria today. They all failed to checkmate the BLACK MONEY effect.
The system are in place but obviously not working. DOLLAR will continue to be on the rise as long as BLACK MONEY find its way to the FOREX MARKET.
