President Tinubu let the poor breathe., Seyi Law cries out.

Nigeria's top comedian, Oluwaseyitan Aletile, known mononymously as Seyi Law, recently slammed the Central Bank of Nigeria's decision to impose a 0.5% cybersecurity levy on financial transactions. He called the move unacceptable and called on the President to give the masses a breather, querying when the new minimum wage would be announced and deployed. He pointed out that some ministers aren't doing their jobs well, and a year into the administration, there isn't much to show on the ground.

In his words: 

I hate when government agencies don't speak up to the understanding of the citizens and allow wrong narratives to fester before tackling it. Cybersecurity level, according to the act, is 0.005%, and different figures from 0.5% to 3% are being thrown around.

A 0.5% charge in the Nigeria of today is in itself too much punishment on Nigerians. Are we trying to discourage banking transactions again and encourage cash keeping? @cenbank should revisit this abeg.

Stamp duty is something, and now this. It is unacceptable. @NGRPresident @officialABAT, let the poor breathe. When will the new minimum wage be announced and implemented? Some of your ministers need to look for another job. One year is here and we are counting.
