Former Kaduna Central Senator, Shehu Sani has stated that the World Bank is complicating Nigeria’s hardships, claiming that the institution aims to prolong suffering for another 15 years before the country can reach the ‘promised land’.
Senator Sani made the declaration after the World Bank stated in its latest edition of Africa’s Pulse report that the Nigerian Naira was among the worst-performing currencies in sub-Sahara Africa at the end of August 2024.
The report blamed the continued increase in the demand for dollars and limited dollar inflow for Naira depreciation in the last months.
The former Senator took to his X (formerly Twitter) handle on Wednesday to question the efficiency of the World Bank in eradicating the poverty level in the country.
“The World Bank wants the hardship to extend to the next fifteen years before we can reach the promise land. I don’t know how many people will be remaining at that time to enjoy the fruits of the WB in its promise land.
“The question is, ‘How many African countries have the World Bank taken to the promise land?” he queried.
