NIGERIAN NAIRA REDESIGN: Impact On Women In Rural Communities

What we know:
Since the implementation of the policy in December 2022, when the new naira notes were released – there has been a myriad of deadlines, and deadline extensions restrictions, coupled with the limited supply of the new notes which paved the way for arbitrage and extortion by people who had access to the new naira notes.

In Episode 9 of the Inclusion for all podcast series, Chinasa Collins-Ogbuo - podcast host and the head of Inclusion for all Initiative, is joined by Dr. Osasuyi Dirisu, a gender and inclusion expert who currently serves as the Executive Director at the Policy Innovation Centre.
Dr. Osasuyi brings a gender lens to the Naira redesign conversation – sharing firsthand encounters with the barriers that limit the access of women in rural communities to formal services.
