In a statement signed by its President, Comrade Quadri Olaleye and Secretary General, Comrade Musa-Lawal Ozigi and made available to The Nation in Abuja, the Congress challenge the apex bank to make public the list of companies applying for forex or face legal action.

If we cannot plan to address our deficit in the shortest time possible then there is a problem.
