 In a few weeks, the deadline issued by the Central Bank of Nigeria's CBN to Nigerians to deposit the selected current NIRA notes will be over. The implication is that the current 200, 500 and 1,000 NIRA notes will cease to be legal tenders by the end of January 31, 2023. In this report, plus CBN news correspondent Labe Koko Yedoko visited some POS operators who have reportedly been battling with getting the new notes to customers. I gave two girls the 1,000 and they rejected it and won mine. So I asked them why they said the money looks like a fake money. Any customer will come here and tell them they collect new money in the regatta. So the old money, good past new money, made them read that money as it did before. Because that old money, that new money, people in the regatta. The money starts on the ATM. If you go to the ATM now to withdraw money, we are withdrawing the old money. Our candidates now tell us that they are going to give us the deadline of 30th of this month. No, typical no. These POS operators call for more enlightenment about the new NIRA notes in order to end the rejection it's currently undergoing by some users. They can create more awareness and give people more time so that we can know the difference and then try to slimline the avenue of fake from coming out. I think they have to check that path first. The fake, I wouldn't want to lose my money. So they should check and try and guide against the fake. The newly redesigned notes are 200 NIRA, 500 NIRA and 1000 NIRA. What then are the perceived grouse against them? It's 1000 NIRA people. That's 200 NIRA. I love the design, the color, very sharp. But that 1000 NIRA just look as if they just put it inside the ink. We discovered that there are fake ones amongst them, especially the 1000 NIRA notes. There is a particular sign, signal that you will see on it to know whether it's original or not. And that golden square that is there is feeling if it's the fake one. The Senate had called on the CBN to extend the deadline to phase out the old NIRA notes through June 30, 2023. But the APS Bank insists on January 31. Hello, hope you enjoyed the news.
