Amaechi’s Call to Print More Naira Sparks Fresh Economic Debate

Rotimi Amaechi, described as Atiku Abubakar’s running mate in the ADC, has proposed expanding the naira supply as an alternative to President Bola Tinubu’s economic policies. The proposal has drawn criticism because it resembles the previous administration’s use of Central Bank financing for government spending. That period reportedly involved about ₦30 trillion in money creation and was widely blamed for worsening inflation and weakening fiscal discipline. The debate is whether printing more money can support recovery or whether it would revive policies that contributed to Nigeria’s current economic difficulties.
