“Apart from exchanging the new notes in banks, the apex bank says it has also made available cash swap to allow those in the rural communities swap their old currency for new ones,” Najim stated.
Meanwhile, the residents of the state have appealed for an extension of the policy so as to assist them to have access to the new naira notes. Some of the residents who spoke with journalists over the weekend expressed concern over their plights at various banks and ATM points of getting the new notes.
Some of the banks limited withdrawal at ATM point to N10,000 while others who did cash swap in the banks were allowed to exchange up to N20,000 per person. The residents said that it was not easy for them to get the new naira notes as the deadline is moving to an end.All rights reserved.

That's what NNPC said in the fuel sector three months ago, til date we don't know where the fuel is
Then what's the problem na
Tell it to the birds
Lie kill una
Mumu talk
The banks are giving it to the politicians in bulk so they don't have any left for the masses. Naija sha.
So you do now have new notes in ATM machines
For bank or for politicians? If its for banks , why is it not available in the banks ATM machines
Why is 100 left out
Aboki money trades need be studied
Why are you telling us, then distribute and make them available to banks nationwide. And safe us the stress you've subjected us to for the past few days.
Distribute it. When you collect the old note, what do you want the masses to spend. Release the new note to banks.
If so why isn’t it circulating
You have enough new notes in the banks and people are suffering for cash...
Iro yi noni
I pray they have as them claim .
Deadline extended, but new note isn't circulated, so what exactly is the point of this whole nonsense
They kept saying that yet banks keep pushing out old notes into the public. If you suspect foul play why not go after erring banks? Sanitize the banks for goodness sake, that's your job!
