Nigerians Complain Over Cash, Fuel as Elections Near
Nigeria is grappling with fuel and cash shortages that are affecting election campaigns and causing frustration among potential voters. Large crowds gathered on Friday at the First Bank in Kano hoping to withdraw their money. However, the government's plan to exchange old banknotes for new ones has resulted in a cash shortage, limiting withdrawals to just 10,000 naira ($20) per person. Meanwhile, long lines formed at gas stations near the bank as hundreds of cars and motorbikes waited to fill their tanks due to the shortage of gasoline.
