That is true. You can see some companies, few international schools, embassies and many other organizations accepting dollar which is not right. But during Jonathan time, there was no problem and all these were existing at the time. The truth is the the government do not know the right way forward.
I feel like the government does know the right way forward chief. It is just that they are also heavily engrossed in the misnomer and are not ready to address the issue because it will also affect their personal interests and the benefits that comes with it. Look at the incident of Gov Yahaya Bello of Kogi State who moved an estimated 720,000 dollars to an American school account based in Nigeria to pay for the school fees of his children school fees in advance and when you convert this amount of money to our currency, it gives you an approximately 1 billion naira of our own currency and this is just the school fees for his wards.
First and foremost, in a country and a state that's bedeviled with abject poverty and a seemingly fluctuating economy and falling currency in the international market, pumping a whole sum of 1 billion naira to a private school for his children's school fees while serving as a governor is absolutely indicting.
Secondly, if he had converted the same amount to naira and try to make such transactions for the sake of paying school fees, it would have raised more eyebrows in the financial institutions especially if they are prudent enough to alert the economic and financial crimes institutions to investigate the matter.
This is just one state governor in one of the 36 states of Nigeria who was discovered of this scandalous transactions. How about many of our leaders out there and top government officials moving foreign funds in large quantity into institutions in Nigeria as a means of refraining from being detected over money laundering and so on. Imagine if we require them to stop the use of dollar within the domestic market, how are they able to cover these sheddy deals for cry out loud?
