The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) has again assured members of the public that it was addressing the reported cases of cash scarcity in some major cities across the country.

The apex bank attributed the current situation to the hoarding of the Naira notes by some persons due to challenges experienced during the Naira redesign project during the last yuletide.

The bank’s acting director in charge of corporate communications, Mrs Hakama Sidi Ali, gave the latest assurance in a statement issued on Wednesday in Abuja.

She said the CBN was monitoring the situation and had released sufficient cash to its branches across the country for onward distribution to Deposit Money Banks (DMBs).

Giving further clarification on the cases of hoarding, Sidi Ali explained that currency in circulation as of February 2023 was N1 trillion, while that figure had risen to over N3.4 trillion as of December 11, 2023.

This, according to her, indicated that there was sufficient cash in circulation, except that the cash was in the hands of individuals who were apprehensive due to their previous experiences.

The CBN spokesperson empathised with Nigerians over their previous and current experiences, however, insisting that the CBN had adequate cash to meet the day-to-day transaction needs of Nigerians.

She, therefore, appealed to Nigerians to be patient while the CBN does the needful to ensure the availability of cash, particularly during the yuletide and beyond.

While also urging Nigerians to continue to accept all Naira banknotes for their daily transactions, Sidi Ali reiterated the apex bank’s earlier call to the public to embrace alternative modes of payment, e-channels, to reduce pressure on the use of physical cash.
