The Director of communications of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Ugo Okoroafor said the governor of the apex bank, Lamido Sanusi knew that his statement that the government should cut down on its workforce would be taken out of context and misunderstood.

According to Mr Okoroafor, who was a guest on Channels Television’s weekend programme, Sunrise, the expectation that he (Mr Sanusi) would be misunderstood was why  he said he knew his comments would be taken out of context.

The CBN spokeman said during the live programme reactions weren’t immediate but it was after the press conference reactions started pouring in.

He advised  Nigerians to get a repeat on any television stations to properly digest Mr Sanusi’s statement which were facts so as to understand what he meant.
