Nigerian comedian Seyi Law, whose real name is Oluwaseyitan Aletile, expressed his strong disapproval of the recent introduction of a 0.5 percent cybersecurity levy by the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN).
In response to this new policy, Seyi Law deemed it “unacceptable” and called on the apex bank to reconsider its decision.
Taking to social media, he tagged President Bola Tinubu and pleaded with him to prioritize the welfare of the masses, questioning when the announcement and implementation of the new minimum wage would take place.
Seyi Law also criticized certain ministers for their lackluster performance, emphasizing that after one year into the administration, there is little progress to be seen.
Through his online platform, Seyi Law voiced his concerns.
On his X handle, Seyi Law wrote:
“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.”
