My grandmum would have rejected her face on new N5000 note – Seun Kuti

Seun Kuti, the grandson of Funmilayo Kuti, one of the women whose picture has been approved to appear on the proposed N5,000 notes,said that his grandmother would not approve of the image if she were still alive.Seun Kuti disclosed this at a question and answer session on the Channels Television’s Google+ Hangout.

“I do not have the power to stop the FG from printing the note but I would want the FG to remove my grandma’s face from the s0-called note. He said, the Federal Government did not officially inform the Kuti family of the intended action “It was through the radio that we got to know that her face would be used…we were not officially contacted.”

He also made it clear that the note cannot solve Nigeria’s problems, the govt should learn to invest in people…the Kuti family is more concerned about the development of the country not the naira. If I were the FG, I would establish more schools, improve on the educational system rather than come up with N5000 note idea. 

Well said!
