The governor assured that he was on top of the matter to ensure that the hardship caused by the naira redesign policy of the Central Bank of Nigeria did not persist.

Areas like Lagos-Ikorodu Road, Agege, Iyana-Ipaja, Igando, were all involved in violence that rocked the state.
Also, in the Epe area, some hoodlums had used the opportunity of the naira crisis to cause mayhem and destroy some banks, although the police had said they were on top of the situation.
