Avoid bank queues, visit PoS agents, CBN advises

CBN’s Director of Internal Audit Department, Lydia Alfa, speaking in Yola, the Adamawa State, urged depositors to patronise bank agents and Point Of Sale operators instead of waiting in long queues at bank premises.

Alfa, who was on the CBN’s compliance drive to Adamawa State, while answering questions from journalists, said the apex bank had a robust strategy in place to ensure the successful mopping up of the old notes into its coffers. She frowned at rejecting the old notes ahead of the due date of February 1, 2023, describing those rejecting them now as saboteurs.

Alfa said, “Let me start by saying that the bank has made it clear that those three denominations would cease to be legal tenders after 31st of January this year. What I mean is that they’ll continue to be legal tenders, they’ll continue to be expendable and to be used as medium of exchange. “Therefore, anyone saying I’ll not accept the old design notes is contravening in one way or the other. As far as today is concerned, the old N1,000, N500 and the old N200 notes are still legal tenders and should be accepted by the public.

CBN is anti people.

A problems that CBN and other commercial Banks are yet to resolve, how can POS resolve it's. We know your intention, because history repeat itself. 1984 and 2023.( Leopard will never change her skin).

The central bank governor is not a serious man. The same person said he ban pos operators in Lagos and Abuja. I don die for this country

Honestly,Govt officials in Abuja,are so completely cut frm d real life experiences of Nigerians.Does d CBN know dat d POS operators in some States Nigeria are hoarding d new Naira notes&are insistent on dispensing d old notes to customers?They claim they don't have d new currency
