The state commissioner for information, Malam Muhammad Garba, who made this known in a statement on Friday, said government was deeply moved by the attendant consequences of the policy which has been affecting the people especially poor Nigerians due to its timing and short transition period.

The commissioner added that while the government, like most Nigerians, believe that the people are facing hardships following the naira redesign, it passionately appealed to the CBN to extend the deadline set for the policy.

The governor urged people in the state to remain calm as appropriate measure would be taken to ameliorate the situations.
