The CBN redesigned N200, N500 and N1000 notes last year to curb counterfeiting, hoarding and vote buying, among other reasons. The idea is also to foster financial inclusion in Nigeria.

 

The apex bank had given January 31, 2023 as deadline for the old notes to cease to operate in Nigeria, a date many have requested should be extended.

“We are taken this message to all nook and crannies of FCT. We are here to solicit your support to help us convey the messages to your subjects,” Kure who is also a CBN director said.

 

“At the expiration of deadline, your old notes are useless. The second leg of the excercise is enlighten on cashless policy. Endeavor to use all the cashless transaction points such as POS, internet enabled banking, USSD for your transactions,” he added.

 

Responding , His Royal Highness Dr. Baba Yunusa pledged to convey CBN message to his people, and commended CBN team for the visit.
