President Muhammadu Buhari will today unveil the newly designed N1,000, N500, and N200 notes in Abuja.
Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Godwin Emefiele, stated this yesterday during the meeting of the Monetary Policy Committee’s monthly meeting in Abuja.
According to him, the CBN won’t shift its deadline for all old notes to be returned to commercial banks in exchange for newly designed ones.
Emefiele said, “100 days is enough for any person from any part of Nigeria to deposit his money in the bank and get his money when the new notes are released.
“For information, indeed, we are no longer waiting until December 15th to unveil and release the new notes.
