 Ahead of the January 31 deadline for the exchange of old notes of 200, 500 and 1,000 Naira for the new ones, the Central Bank of Nigeria, CBN in Iketi state, is advancing its nationwide sensitization and public enlightenment campaigns to markets in the state. Popular markets in the state capital in Iketi were visited during the sensitization campaign. The bank advised traders to fast-track all processes to enable them to deposit existing old Naira notes in their possession at commercial banks before the deadline. This one that we are bringing out, you know, it will be very difficult for anybody to hold it because there will be more control over it, because a lot of people, if you look at the lot of money circulated outside the banking system, you know, so it's not making the money policy to be very effective. The quality of the new Naira notes is the same quality with the old Naira notes. What informed, redesigning the old Naira notes is because, from the address given by our governor, 82 points, over 87 per cent of the 32 billion that is in circulation are outside the banking system. We have challenges in having the notes. If you go to the bank, the money, the notes are not available. If you go to ATM, ATM is still dispensing old notes. The new currency is not much flowing in town right now. Maybe, as I have said, they want to put the limit on the old one. Maybe they will push it out and we can be able to make use of it, you understand. And now it's affecting the business because people are no more rushing to get goods the way they rushed before.
