Are Nigeria’s foreign reserves really “savings”?
Does bigger automatically mean better for the Naira—or just higher costs?

How do the reserves come about, what do they cost to hold, and do rising or falling reserves strengthen or weaken the Naira?

Mustafa Chike-Obi and Dr. Ken Ikpe strip the emotion out of the economics as they examine the Centra Bank of Nigeria (CBN) policy on FX, interest rates, its regulatory footprint, CRR and more.

No theatrics ----- just clear analysis.

Thank you, @UgoOswald

These conversations aim to open doors too long closed to real questions on how policy works.

Limited engagement is expected—substance rarely trends like noise. That’s why we started Policy Without Politics: clearer links between decisions & outcomes, no partisan noise.

The work continues. Appreciate the belief.

All policy, no politics

Effective tax policy requires shifting focus from mere revenue generation to building transparent public trust.

When value-added taxes remain regressive and place an undue burden on the private sector, sustainable economic development depends on fiscal accountability and strategic reform.

PWP position to issues will remain without politics.

We maintain therefore that fuel subsidy reinstatement is economically naive, but the motive as a political weapon and strategy appears to be a masterstroke.

The shrewdness of the statement has forced an intriguing debate and has also induced a subsidy conversation that is proving to be very popular and timely.

Mustafa Chike-Obi counters Atiku, says on petrol subsidy plan ‘extremely naive’

Mustafa Chike-Obi, former chairman of Fidelity Bank, says the plan by former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar to reintroduce petrol subsidy is naive and may amount to spending half of the country’s national wealth in foreign exchange (FX).

Chike-Obi spoke on Thursday during the Policy Without Politics podcast he co-hosts with Ken Ikpe, chief executive officer (CEO) of Graviti Hill Limited.
