SENATE PRESIDENT SLAMS SINGLE PAYMENT SYSTEM DEMANDS OVERHAUL. (PHOTO).


 

Senate President Godswill Akpabio has slammed the single payment system, calling it a major roadblock to Nigeria's economic growth. During Thursday's plenary session, Akpabio expressed concerns that the system is hindering progress and urged for its immediate abolition.
