‘Let the poor breathe’ – Seyi Law tackles Tinubu over cybersecurity levy

Oluwaseyitan Aletile, popularly known as Seyi Law, is a Nigerian comedian who has taken to Twitter to express his displeasure with the Central Bank of Nigeria’s (CBN) new 0.5% cybersecurity levy. 

According to ZINGTIE, the nation’s top bank ordered banks to impose cybersecurity fees on transactions on Monday. 

Seyi Law responded by calling the new CBN policy “unacceptable.” 

He asked the top bank to review the policy. 

The comedian tagged President Bola Tinubu and asked when the new minimum wage would be declared and implemented to allow the people to “breathe.” 

He emphasized that nothing much had changed in the administration’s first year and said that several ministers were not performing their duties to a high standard.

On his X handle, Seyi Law wrote: “I hate when government agencies don’t speak up to the understanding of the citizens and allow wrong narratives to fester before tackling it. Cybersecurity level, according to the act, is 0.005%, and different figures from 0.5% to 3% are being thrown around.

“A 0.5% charge in the Nigeria of today is in itself too much punishment on Nigerians. Are we trying to discourage banking transactions again and encourage cash keeping? @cenbank should revisit this abeg.

“Stamp duty is something, and now this. It is unacceptable. @NGRPresident @officialABAT, let the poor breathe. When will the new minimum wage be announced and implemented? Some of your ministers need to look for another job. One year is here and we are counting.”
