The rise in interest rates is to counter inflation. It is part of a more recent undertaking by even most African countries too, who are experiencing same issues of inflation. Zambia, Congo, South Africa among others have either had to raise their interest rates or reduce it to soot the economy.
It is a good call by the CBN governor, Emiefele, and am hoping that despite the huge deficit this country is incurring, the incoming administration should be able to create more opportunities to support unemployment so as to alleviate the situation of hardship in the country.

Does it mean there are no other better ways to well fight inflation in the economies other than raising interest rates cause it's the citizens that suffer from the ripple effect of these concurrent rise's which has led to increments in prices of goods and services on each rate raise. Looking at all these you wonder how productive is the raising as it hasn't been able to solve to a very good level the problems as to why the interest rates are raised.
If the primary reason is tackled.If the foreign reserve is depleting as a result of buying goods and services from outside the country, I mean importation, government will have no option than the discourage citizens from taking the foreign currencies abroad.

If Nigerian is producing more, exporting more than importing is the solution. If not for crude oil, it would have been worse than this.
Imagine how other countries like the USA the fight hard by all possible means to use reduce their interest rate knowing how badly the effect of the increase the cause suffering to their citizyns but for Naija government own na to the help add to their own citizyns suffering by inflating things.
