”Go to your local grocery store, whether na aboki shop or Supermarket, and see that they CANNOT RESTOCK a lot of products once they run out.

We don’t produce any of these finished products even toothpaste.

Your focus is money launderers but you are In Turn worsening our economy, Dear CBN

So.much Bureaucracy in action and no one consciously trying to apply it to our reality!
