The governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, Mr. Godwin Emefiele, has stated that he had met with bank executives.
Emefiele claimed on Thursday that he had met with the heads of roughly 15 commercial banks after President Muhammadu Buhari issued his most recent instruction regarding the new Naira policy.
The CBN said this when he went to the presidential villa hours after announcing that only the old N200 note would continue to be legal tender till April 10, 2023 in a countrywide television broadcast.
He said that the purpose of the discussion with bank officials earlier on Thursday was to secure a plentiful supply of the outdated N200 notes to ease Nigerians’ agony.
