The Governor of Central Bank of Nigeria, Mr. Godwin Emefiele, on Thursday charged banks to comply with the directive of President Muhammadu Buhari on the new Naira policy.
According to Emefiele, he has met with the leadership of about 15 commercial banks to ensure that the President’s directive of continuous usage of the old #200 note is adhered to.
The CBN Governor stated this when he visited the presidential villa hours after the nationwide televised broadcast where he announced that only the old N200 note will remain a legal tender until April 10, 2023.
He also revealed that the meeting with the bank executives earlier on Thursday was to ensure ample supply of the old N200 notes to alleviate the sufferings of Nigerians.
